Concentrated fruit with focused flavors and balance. Full body and long finish. Well structured, and surprisingly not quite developed yet! Has a ood 10 or more year of life with evolution in it. Kudos to Mr. Newsom.

Other than the PITA plastic / wax enclosure, this wine is wonderful. Decanted as the last third of the cork was completely saturated and broke off. At fifteen years, it’s mature but still showing lots of life. Well integrated, but still noticeable tannin; black fruits are juicy with great concentration; complex flavors; acidity supports a lengthy finish. Paired with grilled ribeyes, shrimp, mushrooms, and corn on the cob. Unlikely to improve with further cellaring, but this might drink well for another 3-5+ years.

Cork was soaked 2/3 of the way through, but still doing well. In a nice place right now, but probably wouldn't wait much longer.
