Drinking at its peak right now. Hit its stride an hour into the decant and continued to develop wonderfully for the next two hours. More feminine in style with soft texture, lots of pretty plum, berry, and currant flavors. The nose was more musty and earthy, however, the secondary foral and spice nice were persistent enough to create a complex and pleasing aromatic profile. Drink now and over the next year, maybe two.

This wine was absolutely incredible for the price! Great nose and still very fruit forward. Very well integrated with tannins softening nicely but not too much. Should last another 3-5 years. This is one of the best QPR of all Napa Valley wines. 30 sec finish.

Need to find more. This wine still showed plenty of life. I was pleasantly surprised.
