What a lucky man I am - married to this beautiful lady for 30 years - this wine was a gift from my great friend @David L

Such an amazing wine - 30 years old and I promise this wine could go another 30 years

Incredible structure - color was a deep garnet - I know that sounds crazy but it was / tannins were silky and refined - the acidity and weight was medium and really balanced with tertiary notes all over it / just say them and they were present - one of most special Napa wine ever

Thank you again
@David L
