A beautiful wine.

So much to say about this bottle. Its profile, its history, its growing rarity. And the fact that it was made at the very peak of The Patriarch’s era… Then there is the occasion. A wine you cellar and protect, waiting patiently for the one moment worthy of all its allure. A wine from a cooler Napa Valley, so evident in the glass it becomes mesmerizing. The freshness, the tension, the quiet authority; everything speaks of a time and place in Napa which no longer exists. Yes, this is the kind of bottle that stays with you, not just as a wine, but as a memory.

Quite fine but showing it’s age. Drank the 95 vintage with a New Zealand grass fed prime rib. They may have over done it on the new French Oak. Earthy and slightly peppery with a lingering muskiness.
