Amazingly fresh & expressive, very Brunello’esque with some Balsamico notes, a bit of tomato leaf, black currant leaf, but also some ripe black fruit. Amazing energy here! Incredible nose, just insane! On the palate this is nicely evolved, with mid weight, brilliant balance and freshness. The tannin management is impeccable- fine, dusty, so delicate yet with the proper grip. Dusty, cocoa’s with a hint of savoury mocca. 6h decant and this is in the perfect spot. A truly stunning wine.

Ok, I’m sheltering in place. Why not drink the good stuff. Wonderful aroma, deep deep dark fruit, earth ,vanilla . Mid pallet and long finish. Just a delicious wine.

Cedar, eucalyptus on the nose. Cherry, berries, cocoa, opulent on the palate. Smooth and fine tannins. Medium to high acidity. Long finish.

Needed a longer decant - but lovely classic cab when it finally did. Good time here in Napa and wonderful food at Bottega

Absolutely wonderful. It is worth the money! Used an aerator then let it sit for about an hour. No obvious detectable tannin, with amazing balance.
