@David L another beauty gifted to me by David's best friend Tom. Incredibly generous of him to share this with me. Drinking so perfectly well right now. I love the blue fruit., Earth!& and graphite. Definitely a full bodied beauty with ample going on to take on the most discerning palates. My only regret, I found the finish rather short. I kept wishing it would linger. Incredible bottle my friend!

Dark/blue nose that gives me the good smile. Palate coating dark fruit, smooth tannins, 45 second finish. A beaut!

An early b-day present. It could have lasted a decade but you can"t always wait.

Hitting its peak! The best bottle of the ‘07 case. Broad shouldered and great depth. Bottle aging has done wonders for this wine.

Nov 25th, 2021Fruit forward, perfectly balanced Napa cab ready to drink and kick some butt. No decant, and although it could have probably benefitted from that, it didn't need it. Full bodied although not overextracted or overwhelming. Blackberry cassis, herbs, sweet fruits, hint of graphite. Black licorice in the middle and well integrated cedar tannin to the finish. Nice wine in a great spot.

A monster. I love this softness of these older Mersus wines. This is a happy place.
