On night 1, this was a bit muted. After an hour in the glass, aromatics were modest, mostly floral. Palate was savory, good but not enough fruit.
Night 2 a revelation. Same floral nose, but lots of bright blue fruit added to the mix. Cassis, blueberry, and graphite on the palate. Long finish. So good.

Food friendly. But a wine that sets Napa in a direction I don’t want it to go. Back in time. Or maybe it’s me that live in the past? I guess Parker taught me Napa. And I was a good student.
I love this wine. It's as simple as that. I could go into more notes like I have previously but what's the point. I think I've drank between 8-10 bottles of the 2020 now. It's so amazing. Dicostanzo is one the best wineries around. I want to scream it from the rooftops.
Quite nice. Deep and dark, with a nuanced plush mouthfeel. Angular tannins come out a bit on the lengthy finish. Nose is flamboyant and floral, with violets and cassis that lifts this above similarly priced competition.
