Napa Valley, California, USA
Wow. This one was served pop and pour for the most part, and I still believe that this one could have benefited from a 1 day slow-ox at 11 years of age! This wine is vibrant, dark, powerful. Youthful, sweet punchy blackberry pie, roasted figs and dark chocolate swirling all around the place. Decadent. Hedonistic. Where some 08's sort of seem to be developing mild signs of tertiary notes, I'm sitting here wondering if this one was even ready to go yet! Finished strong with toasted tannins and black pepper.

It doesn't get much better than this. Super smooth and rich with great elegance and balance. Notes of espresso and cocoa on the finish, velvety texture and dark fruit. Wow.
