May 7, 2019 - PNP. Drank over 2 hours, no real change in that time. Well balanced, reasonable fruit and acid. Tannins integrated, smooth. Slight bricking. No crystals on the cork vs. other '06 N&Ns opened recently. Well aged, peaking, but not over the hill. However, likely won't improve.
Moderate sediment in the bottle.1 person found this helpful Comment -

April 21, 2018 - Very balanced and overall a nice wine. Opened well but faded after a hour. Don't think this will improve at this point and probably is in the beginning stages of decline.

August 26, 2017 - I collected this winery very heavily for years. One thing i can say with confidence. Drink early. These wines with possible exception of the Stelling and maybe Dragonfly offering are not really cellar worthy beyond 6 years. In this case I know I waited a little too long. Don't get me wrong it's not bad it just not noteworthy. Starts to slide toward my Wednesday Wine category. Decent but I'm glad it didn't offer to friends. A bit musty/forest floor OMG is this a Left Bank with age? That's how I describe French to my Cali buds, tired over the hump Napa. Not bad just a different palette profile.
