Nose has ripe dark fruits, plum, blackberry, black cherry, wet rusted metal and garden soil.
Palate has sweetened tart cherry juice, blackberry jam, wet leather, dried leafy herbs, cocoa powder, faint metallics with a long finish and mild tannins.
Quite a nice bottle.
Decanted 3H, starting to unfold, but 8-10 more years appreciated.

Deep intense red with aromas of rich dark fruit, smoke and spice. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with licorice and earthy spice. Soft dusty tannins but some time can make them better. Fresh on the finish with a lingering ending of toasty oak. Tasting Sample.

Best Napanook yet. Maybe reflected by the fact that it costs twice as much as it did a few years ago. Big and bold. Rivals some estate flagship wines and it's just a secondary.

Extremely well balanced between fruit, tannin, and more aggressive flavors of earth. Impressive, but I bet this will be far superior in a few years.
