  Paired with same vintage Napanook for birthday party. Double decanted and threw a lot of concentrated sediment. Distinctly better than its sibling. A wine to contemplate. Still has some baby fat but lets you immerse yourself in its profundity.

  Decanted for an hr and had a taste. Wow. All components were singing. Smooth as silk, dense fruit, hits the back of the palate and long finish. Only going to get better. Nothing wrong with these high scores.

  As advertised, this wine is nothing short of remarkable. It evolves throughout the entire evening. Best between hours 2 and 3. Absolutely has Bordeaux dominant traits initially but as the hours pass, the Napa fruits become stronger. I am humbled after drinking this wine. It is an experience.

  an elegant, polished, classy bordeaux like red which shows its CA roots with a tad more fruit and sweetness and less earth then a left bank red. i loved how this was balanced and not overblown. a very pretty wine that could be enjoyed even without food.

  Suffered none of the roasted notes that are all too common in 2013. It is deep and dense, but polished and not impenetrable even now. Some silky ripened blackcurrant and tar. I’m still holding but a treat to get to peek.
