Estimate
Blackberries, black licorice and currant leaf. Full to medium body and very fine tannins. Wonderful real Napa style. Drink in 2019 but already a joy to taste.
...clone 7 from that first-growth vineyard in Oakville... of Asian spice, licorice, espresso bean, chocolate, oodles of blackberry & cassis fruit.... fleshy and succulent... very concentrated with velvety tannin & a long, 45+-second finish.
Pure, rich and even delicate for the size and depth, with layers of blackberry, licorice and anise flavors, light toasty oak and a pleasing suppleness and subtlety on the aftertaste that forces you to pay close attention.
