Held way too long but better than expected and showed juicy red fruit. Faded over time.

Used to work with these wines at La Toque but not this old. Brawny, dark and always firmly structured when young. Still on the serious side but showing round, maturing fruit

Undeniably California fruit and style but balanced with a solid amount of tertiary aromas and flavors emerging behind a powerful red fruit and peppery bite
