Sunday, July 27, 2014 - From a nice looking bottle with a VTS fill, this wine had a deep red/purple center with some orange at the rim. It looked amazingly young. The medium intensity nose displayed plum, cherries, Napa "red dust", and some brown spices.

In the mouth, this wine had an amazingly silky texture of a top flight Pomerol. It took 4 hours of decanter time to develop fully. The light rounded tannins, solid acidity, and nice length were attractive. This wine was quite refined but there was no mistaking the quality of the wine making.

While not wildly complex, this was a very attractive wine. I loved its balance and subtlety. It certainly got me excited to taste the cask offerings.
