Napa Valley, California, USA
Coffee-espresso and bakers chocolate; blueberry-blackberry. Smoky, with dark toasted rye, cassis, sloe berry, mulberry, and darkest tobacco. Licorice, black currant cassis, and tobacco reflections on the palate. 10 years unwavering here, rich with dark, burnt brown sugar and cedar, pliant tannins, mouth coating richness. Very seductive and extracted, rich and round.

After a very long work week, I wanted to explore another logical level when trying to dull the senses.
Coffee and herbs represent the primary notes. This has not moved since we last tasted this. Beautiful texture and density. Somewhat pricey, but worth every cent.

Presents like a Bdx. Subtle nose of sandalwood and black fruits leads into graphite. Moderate tannins and acidity suggest 5 - 7 years of further enjoyment. Day two and this hasn’t moved. At the right price, this is a great buy.

Another 4th Friday for the books!
Decadent in every sense of the word. Blue and black fruit pie. Dark chocolate. Cherry pie. Sandalwood. Meant to be enjoyed young...hedonistic. Young and delicious.
