Saturday, July 23, 2016 - This was the perfect exclamation point on a great night of celebrating Jimmy & Larisa's wedding! Many many thanks to Mark for generously sharing this iconic, bucket list, wine with us! The nose alone was worth the price of admission with layers of graphite, tobacco, coffee, cedar and, a hint of forest floor. Bordeaux power & scale, richness, intensity, concentration and yet, magically delivering Burgundian eloquence and grace. Excellent fruit, red spectrum, cedar, dark chocolate, and forest floor combine with resolved tannins and prefect acidity bringing that old school lift often missing in CA Cab blends. This is pretty close to as good as Bordeaux gets and I prefer it to most the Lafites I've had. Happily, some of this got shared with Jimmy too!
