Tasting notes from magnum. Very young still and could easily age many more years in this format. Needs a solid two hours to decant as the wood is still over powering upon PnP. Tasty berries and chocolate with leather nuances. Really delicious with filet and chanterelle Demi glacé, crab cake and prawn sides with truffle mash.
Yum…

PNP. Black cherry and blackberry, dark chocolate. Full bodied, slightly chewy tannins, nice acidity, almost juicy for such a flavorful wine. A little hot, almost candied liqueur finish. Nice, modern leaning, ready to go, but should drink well another 10 years.

Amazing at vintage +9 years, showcasing bright complexity of fruit on palate, fully integrated tannic structure and acidity to balance the wonderful result of Heidi Barratt and Paradigm's excellence, which has never wavered. Favorite Napa label, for sure.

Decanted 2hrs. Absolutely delicious floral, dark fruits and soft tannins. Only 1 bottle left. Very approachable now.

Super dry, less fruit than other Paradigm CS bottlings. In my opinion a very good wine, with a bordeaux style for certain.
