Description
Parker: 95/100
When to drink: 2012 to 2025
Exceptionally dark crimson with black tones. Very warm and very Napa Valley - very ripe. Sweet - advertises hang time. Very easy to drink without food though there are some quite marked tannins on the finish. Very lush but not very terroir driven.
Strong ruby garnet colour, violet reflections, delicate touch of ochre, broad rim brightening. Smoky, intense black berry confit, a hint of mint and eucalyptus, underlaid with sour cherries and black cherries. Juicy, black berries, liquorice, silky tannins, fine chocolate touch on the finish, lingers for a very long time, possesses great elegance, still top.
