My first Amici, and enjoyed the light cedar and blackfruits on the nose. Cherry notes start to develop on the palate, and the tannins were reasonably resolved with slight chewiness.
Oak and tobacco develops over an hour, and delightful medium finish. Crowd pleaser, and I always love a Napa surprise. What a treat to have a bottle bro EC had hand carried back from the US 5 years ago.
Bottle 17 of 23, at our Genting Sempah early birthday staycation, this ranks in the Top 5 wines of the entire event for me!

Magnum bottle, decanted four hours. Classic Napa cabernet character of black cherry, tobacco and cigar box, lively and balanced with the low hum of silky tannins. Good stuff.

pencil shavings, black currant, black cherry, clove, gravel dust, blackberry pie. Very fresh.
Good acid, plush, silky tannins, very well rounded.
