Tasted at the Taste of Yountville.

Dark purplish red. Dark and rich on the nose, can easily smell inches away from the glass. Aromas of anise, vanilla, oak and black fruits. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Insanely rich on the palate, the flavors completely coats your mouth. Layers of cassis, plums and dark cocoa. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2042.

Made up of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 26 months in 90% new French oak barrels.

Big in your face Napa, love the juice but overpriced. Look for it on Auction at a 40-50% discount

Time for some big cab,
Nice bottle if you can find it below Release price which is ridiculously high,
Wine Advocate 99, but $250.00 Release is lame

This bottle spent 6 hrs in a hot car, >90 degree weather. Opened early after resting a few weeks in cellar, fingers crossed. Indestructible! Inky black color with full body. Blue, black fruits, sweet tannins & baking spice finish. Delicious!
