3 days in Napa: Arkenstone, Memento Mori, Maxem, The French Laundry, Christopher Tynan, Kinsman, Harlan, Vice Versa, Accendo, Fairchild, Macdonald, and a truckload of others (Napa): Red and black fruits, with the red berry and currant notes ultimately elbowing their ways ahead of the overall march of flavors, this offers slightly more depth than the Sigaro initially, but then races in with its acids and tannins to quickly clamp down on the fruit and keep everything in strict line. Surprisingly, the finish relaxes and softens the edges, though the tail stretches and elongates on the back end and keeps the flavors pumping. The speed is well-defined despite the forgiving thresholds that hint at a pliable periphery. It’s like riding a magic carpet at 120 MPH, except that the carpet is 4-inch Shag and covered in puppy fur.
