Our perception of a wine is influenced by not only the wine, but the surroundings and people with whom we're drinking it. I had this wine in a nice restaurant in St. Helena with Claire Pott, the winemaker's wife. It was rich and tightly structured opening up after an hour to flavors of cassis, cocoa and leather.

Black raspberry, black currant, and a little something...smokey (?) at the end. Quite a long finish. Exceptional.

Not quite ready to drink yet. Great nose, but a bit tannic still.
