Our bartender and cellar guard last Saturday, Tommy Kofler. This Levy & McClellan was a big surprise for me. I had an ‘05 a couple years ago and I did not care for it. This bottle was far far more complex, balanced and feminine than I expected. Bold fruit yes, but a velvet water slide finish that killed. I’m also noticing a trend with ‘09 Napa. It’s opening up and strutting around the henhouse a little. Until recently I gelt they were shut down and angular. Thank you @David L

From magnum.
Relatively delicate nose of toast, sweet oak. The palette is muscular with compact flavors of cherries and linze torte. Polished tannins jostle with bright acidity.

Big cherries and raspberry, fat and fleshy with hints of leather

First time and I did good - patience is a virtue - they are rested - MAGS - celebrate good times tonight - we're going have a party! And SMILE - first sip was damn great - more to come - decanting for three hours if I can make that long! After decanting I was amazed how good this wine is - all the things we as wine drinkers pray for when purchase wine like this are so abundantly present - I am a LIFER of L & M

Complex and smooth. Nicely integrated red fruit and tannins. A really good wine but the list price is a joke. The $99 I paid was ok but not a bargain in my books
