Not sure how to score this. Tobacco, red cherry, tamed tannins, but the alcohol was completely out of whack to the point of undrinkable. An hour+ of air did nothing to help. Drank a glass, chucked the rest. Disappointed

Amazing wine from 2007 - a great year in Napa Valley. Still rich fruit on the palate with soft, balanced tannins on the finish. Dark color. Would never think this wine was 14-years old.

Still tight and a bit angular upon opening. Seemed somewhat coarse which I initially thought was from mountain fruit.
However an hour later this came together And became more silky and round with bright dark cherry fruit. This is an impressive wine as it’s made in an old school style that I much appreciated.

Mrs Geaux said corked, I didn’t detect any TCA but this is terrible. We’re both right.
