Had on Christmas 2023. Perfect age. Mild tannins, fruity nose. Great with a meal or to enjoy a day or two after the holidays. If you have it, drink it soon.

Wonderful bottle-age aromas of black cherries, creme de cassis, eucalyptus, sous bois, and a kiss of smoke. Sleek and savory in the mouth, it possesses fantastic structure and complexity, and kept developing terroir-driven typicity while growing in breadth and depth as the night wore on. A streak of minerality picks up black coffee on the long, sapid finish.

A distinctive Napa nose with a bit of cassis and eucalyptus. More of the same on the palate with a touch of blackberry jam. Though rather strong at 14.8 abv, the most appealing thing about this wine is that it medium bodied. I don't like wine so thick that they have to be served with a knife and fork. I find a lighter body is more expressive and a heavier body buries the subtler flavors.

First sip was delicious and it just got better until the end.
Worth the cellar time of 8 years.
