Served from a pristine magnum stored at 53F since release.
Cork was soaked up only about 5mm.

13% ABV.
Harvested at 22.5-23.5 Brix in late September and aged for 32 months in French oak.

Showing so vibrant, fresh, young and full of flavors at age 32 that it begs the question...why did Napa in general stray away from this style?

You can tell this was at one time a fantastic wine, but unfortunately after 27 years it has past it's prime.
