Stags Leap District, Napa Valley, California, USA
In a mag, shows zero sign of age. Dense, while still being youthful. Bold, ripe and richly flavored. Dark berries, mocha, cedar and crushed rock. Silky tannins that are so plush and lofty. Finish that repeats the theme of the palate. Has another 8-10 years without question.

Aug 21st, 2017Vanilla extract taste, dark and rich. Very smooth.
Plush texture mouth feel. Quite fruity but well balanced. There is a bit of sharpness on the finish. For a almost 20 year old wine it is holding up great.

Dark fruit and big tannins. Impressive and delicious, but at 14.9% alcohol, it was a bit much.

Even at 17+ years of age this wine is still an infant. Very nice with a very long life ahead.

This was a pleasant surprise! Very harmonious in tannins vs fruit...it is possible - just possible that we pulled the trigger a few years early because the fruit is incredibly strong as is the tannin base. This is big and the bottle is damn heavy!!
