  Very intense nose which develops all the aromatic richness of Napa, lavender, jammy fruit, spices and cocoa.
  
  On the palate, we are in the hills of Napa, it is extremely rich and intense on this 2ha plot which culminates at an altitude of 100m. We are on a demonstrative and structured wine, where the jam/lavender/spices/cocoa quartet articulates well around a perfect balance, without any heaviness. And yet, the 15.6% alcohol could quickly tire the palate... Warm finish, all in richness on vanilla and cocoa on a good length.
  
  It's excellent, but not the style I prefer in California.

  3.5 hour decant
  
  Big hedonistic nose with perfuming and jammy black and dark red cherry, rich spice, currant, dark chocolate and lavender. Highly structured and full body with deep character, attractive acidity and broad but balanced velvety tannins. Never ending finish.
  
  Stylistic not something I would normally elect but I have to say this is quite impressive, balanced, multi dimensional and highly enjoyable. I think this will mellow more with time but this is sweet seductive elegant and powerful.
  
  For the style, fantastic and top class

  Decanted two hours. Pure cassis and licorice with velvety tannins, light minerality, long seamless finish. Drinking well but no hurry. Quite a nice effort for the vintage.
