Monday, March 4, 2024 - A really nice bright red fruited wine with spice, cigar tobacco, mint and some almond notes. Started with a bit of the BV "sherry" note, typical of these older bottles, but really cleaned up and came together into an elegant mature wine. Palate offering plum skin, cherry, mint and clove as this came together in glass.
Lighter bodied, high acidity, and slightly fragile fruit at this point. However it provides a nice historic reference point for the wines made by Andre in the early days of Napa's renaissance.
