Napa meets Bordeaux. Nose: fruit is black cherry. Hints of tobacco, leather, mint on top. Palate: still lively on the palate. Tannins have softened to perfection ... Long, dense and balanced. Vintage 1996.

1996 vintage. Make sure to let this old beauty breathe. We opened, decanted, waited 1.5 hours and the rebottled to take to dinner and even then it improved in the glass. Wonderful, intense bramble fruit and leaves on the nose. Good follow through on the palate. No need to age longer, I'm going to drink my last bottle of this vintage soon.

Thanks for the bottle Fred it was a real treat. Good fruit, soft tannins and lots of sediments.
