September 5, 2020 - This is a delicious 8 year old Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley that is drinking very nicely now.
Showing black fruits, earth, tobacco, leather, vegetables, light vinaigrette and coffee.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Decanted it for 2 hours, and that was enough.
I had this exact vintage 5 years ago, and it is drinking nicer now.
Not an expensive wine, but from a great vintage, so it was worth keeping it for a while.
Has nice acidity and tannins to keep it for another five years which is nice to see. I love these Napa Bordeaux blends.
Aged in French and American oak barrels for 23 months.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
