Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Drinking this alongside some vegetarian sourdough pizza with red onions, black olives, veggie sausage, and pomodoro, was simply fantastic. The nose was solid, strong, and filled with black berries, cherries, and a tiny hint of cola. The flavors were very similar to the nose but layered in some vanilla, smoked meats and a tiny bit of acid. Also, it was widely accessible to folks across the dinner party. A great bottle which added to a great meal.

The deep nose shows ripe plum, blackberry, cassis, dark cocoa, anise, and cinnamon. Full body. Rich palate with excellent acidity for balance. Ripe firm tannins.
Concentrated and powerful. Needs time.
