Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): I had really hoped that this would have a nice showing as we were with someone from Bryant for lunch and then the bottle seemed to be in a great spot. Very lovely dark style of wine. Very integrated with good secondary notes showing through. Lots of life. Overall I was quite happy with it.

served 2 hours and 15 minutes after decanting. Nose was soooo fragrant, with mint, tobacco, pencil lead. Soft and rounded on the palate, with a touch of sweetness. Opened up to show a huge nose with leather and a hint of green pepper. Absolutely fantastic.

Spicy, purple fruit, cassis, chocolate, soft, linear, dimensional with good texture. Did not last long, however. 93-94

Mature napa when opened and quite delicious for the first hour, but quite delicate as it faded quite quickly thereafter. Drink up (with pleasure)
