This one’s got a complex bouquet of violets, pencil shavings, and black plums. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, swelling with black cherries, cigar box, and Christmas pudding spices. 1.5 hour decant on the reserve.

This wine knows more about the user than the user can know about it.
Representing Big Napa. 15% abv. Good wine, but not exactly my bag...

1hr+ decant. Dark purple color. More Bordeaux than Napa. Nose had anise, cedar, and dark fruit. Same on the palate with touches of smoke and tar. Medium plus depth and solid finish. Was a little tart, sour on occasion but overall very nice.
