Thicker than 2003. But we can drink it from the beginning. Black currant. Concentration. Ink. 1 hour decanting is necessary. 2005 @3850, Eva - LGM, 221218-220121

Old world nose and with a massive French influence. Hits the palate like a Bandol and has a Bordeaux finish. Smokey with lots of earthiness, tar, and subtle tobacco. Absolutely loved it, even though it wasn't what I was expecting from a Stags Leap Napa Cab.
