The Tench slightly better than the Sugarloaf. But, did show some light alcohol burn.

Anniversary time and lucky me - opened this at a restaurant with my wife of 29 years - how fun is that given the world right now

This is getting better from the first time two years ago / I almost went to 9.8 but I don’t do those scores often - crazy insane goodness in a bottle - bravo Russell - what can I say - opened decanted and 45 minutes this wine was spot on - refined and totally integrated tannins - structure is brilliant- like eating delicious dark chocolate almost with raspberries and blackberries fruit positioned perfectly inside the texture of this wine - could last 10 years and might get better but WHY wait

Amazing smiles

Day 3 in Napa in the books! Running a day behind on notes...Napa time runs slow AND fast!

Fun to try this next to the Tench EE. More fruit upfront without a doubt. More feminine in style vs the Tench EE being more masculine. Red, blue and black fruit all over with Mexican vanilla, fig & chocolate.
