Community Tasting Note

• Baxterna Likes this wine: 99 points

  July 28, 2022 - What a gorgeous wine. Knowingly young, we decanted for about an hour… tasting along the way. High and tight initially, then it began to open like a bag of magic tricks. This became so well balanced, fruity Napa genius, perfect balance of fruit, alcohol, tannins, and general smooth perfection. Only reason for the 99 in my mouth is that I think this wine needs a couple of years to get to the 100 that the professionals predicted. Although very expensive, we drank this one early in celebration of a negative cancer diagnosis and it made the day all that much sweeter. What a great celebration with a legendary wine. How appropriate that the etched quote on the bottle says ‘Fate whispers to the warrior, you cannot withstand the storm. The warrior whispered back, I am the storm.’ We drank this first bottle a few years early to celebrate being ‘the storm’. Did not disappoint. See you again in a couple of years Wraith!
