  Dramatically different than the prior bottle. A big wine. Initially closed and loamy. Some leather and wet stones. Let it open for 45 minutes. What emerged was a simple and overly jammy fruit bomb. While it did morph from unpleasant and uninteresting, it was only so-so.

  Blood red. Perfumed nose -- roses and chocolate, apples and raspberries. Rich and jammy, but not thick. An elegant mouthfeel was complemented by the sweet, but not cloying palette. The fruits were on full show, with a range of red fruits, finished with a hint of leather and cedar.

  My last bottle of the '08. Dark , almost Black in color and with a great smell of 9 years old Napa. Taste the same , still I prefer them a little younger...

  Napa Visit 2016; 7/10/2016-7/13/2016: Subdued, lay down for a while to see if it gets its act together. Hints of black fruit, but still Got its ass kicked by the '07. 89 pts.
