Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
If you have the 07 Regusci Angelo's Vineyard, I'd wait 5 more years before opening. It's drinking nicely but it's full pleasure is only 50-60% there. The tannins are nicely resolved but there is plenty of room for maturity. It starts with dark cassis and dark chocolate w/ cocoa powder, vanilla, salted caramel & cinnamon. Dry blackberries, chocolate covered dark cherries, black raspberries w/ just of whiff of juicy, ripe strawberries. Spice-box, nutmeg, cumin, menthol, eucalyptus, dry coffee grounds, dry dark earth, dry stones, dry red & dark florals & underbrush. It still has big structure, great length, nice tension & balance. It's just short of perfect acidity but what it lacks in acidity is more than made up by it's long, long, beautiful, elegant finish. It's a superstar in another 5-7 years. Happy Holidays all...hope you have some nice company, food & wine this holiday season & of course...Happy New Year!!!

Black cassis, dark cherries, cooked strawberries, strong anise, black plum liqueur, dark raspberries, crumbled dark minerals, rich sweet dark earth, black tea, spicebox, dry florals, dark chocolate and a long unforgettable finish. This will continue to improve over the next 3-5 years.
