Napa Valley, California, USA
Eighth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 and the 2003 (this one) came out too.
Mix of deep garnet and ruby red with lighter edges. Lovely aged nose with floral notes, cedar, cocoa, licorice, cassis and blackberries. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus to full body. Complex notes on the palate with dark spices, light forest floor, black fruits and a touch of blue too. Long finish. Drink till 2022.
