gave it a 90 min decant. fabulus wine, unmistakable American oak aromas of coconut, but also fresh cherries, some dill, cranberries. drink now and for another 30 years.
Disclosure: I don't love CA Chards , a matter of personal preference. But drinking this bottle with Russell Bevan was so special. Fell in love with it on first whif- white flowers (gardenias)strong minerality. On the pallate, pineapple, pink grapefruit, lychee, pink Himalayan salt, taffy, a perfect score!
