Bad label, great bottle. Everything Napa should be right here! Juicy cassis and black raspberry, sage, graphite, roasted espresso bean.

I’ve not had this wine from Ramey before...fantastic stuff! Wonderful aromatics of smoked licorice, blackberry liqueur, candied black cherries and baking spices. Powerful and textured, revealing espresso, cassis and a display of mixed berry pie notes. This will hold for a few years, but it’s not getting better. Drinking very well!

The cork looks brand new. You could have said this wine was a '13 blind and you might have gotten away with it. Still tannic after a decade, but starting to relax and is killer after an hr decant. If you know how expensive Larkmead fruit has gotten recently this is a real gem to drink for what it cost on release.

Inky, deep black and red fruits, and smooth but very firm tannins. A big wine with layers of flavors.
