Fascinating evolution. On opening very typical Napa floor flavors with cedar, dust, dark berries, a bit of chocolate. As it opened much more vegetables with green pepper, black peppercorn, cassis, cedar, cocoa powder, plums, and like a hint of dried apricot or other stone fruit. I really like this one.

Consistently great! Interesting to taste so close to the other vintages. Definitely a bit younger but still aged nicely.

Pretty solid blend - the green, vegetal notes of the Petite Verdot add an especially nice freshness to the rich dark fruits.
