Fully ripe, intense and concentrated. Nose displays black cherries and coffee notes. Palate presents a muscular structure of dense tannins and cedar notes. I also detect hints of maple and blackberry spice. For a second wine, I just shake my head as it’s brilliantly made and so expressive. Why pay triple for the Buccella, but then most of us like to display our net worth I guess… no rush to consume these. I estimate another 7 - 10 years of runway ahead of this, maybe more.

Rich with densely packed tannins. Cassis, blueberry, espresso, sweet tobacco. A really well-made 2012 Napa Cab with the type of structure that'll allow it a long slumber in the cellar.

Cassis, black cherry, blackberry and a hint of fresh herbs. Very nice balance

Magnolia blossom and grilled burger nose. Bright red and mixed fruits on palate. Sweet, ripe fruit, fine tannin. Mid length.
