Snow day wine! Decanted- perfect. It has a few more years but drinking great right now!

The blue fruits shine slightly overpowering black fruits. Nice evolution has taken place in the bottle, light oak use, minerals, star anise, black tea and long rich endless polished finish .

Brought out of the cellar. From a trip to Napa in 2011? Cherry and tobacco on the front. Hints of mint as it lingers. Still a full tannic finish after 16 years. Another bottle in the cellar to try in a few years more. Paired with locally sourced braised beef short ribs.
