This wine knows more about the user than the user can know about it.
Representing Big Napa. 15% abv. Good wine, but not exactly my bag...

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. More Bordeaux than Napa. Nose had anise, cedar, and dark fruit. Same on the palate with touches of smoke and tar. Medium plus depth and solid finish. Was a little tart, sour on occasion but overall very nice.

1hr+ decant. Lovely purple, dark red color. Amazing nose of cigar box, dark cherries, and ever so subtle green elements. Wine was deep and chewy to start with a touch of vanilla and oak at the end, which wasn’t out of place at all! It did start to fade towards the end or I would have been @ 96. Reminded me of all those great Bordeaux’s we drank in London!! Finish was medium plus. Paired lovely with mustard and applewood marinated ribs.
