4-10-21: another great bottle from HDH auction win. So far all of these 95 bottles have been pristine and youthful. Impeccable storage to still be showing @10 years of age. This bottle was elegant and refined. Great balance and finish. Not overly complex, but a fine aged red. 94

Medium garnet red, light at the edges. Deep black cherries with a strange saline undertone. Strong black cherry notes with an almost as strong earthiness. Cherry notes last forever and have amazing purity of fruit. Not overly complex with a soft texture. Seriously delicious.

Nose is hanging in there, but barely. Singed wood and black currant fruit. A bit of fresh mint. Medium-full bodied with just a little tannin left. Flavors are slightly stewed and definitely faded. Milk chocolate. Well, still a neat way to celebrate our 21st anniversary! 85

Fantastic aged Bdx blend. Very classic in style, lots of fruit, some earth, leafy goodness, and everything I like in a mature Bdx blend from Napa.

Opened this and let it sit for an hour or so. Still had nice berry flavors and long finish. Not bad for a Thursday after work.
