Soft, round elegant style with medium extract and a touch of dry, cedary tannins. Fine spicy, clove, peppery, cedary, vanilla, smoky cassis flavours with olive, chocolate and licorice on the finish. Quite elegant in style with an herbal core and a touch of acidity. Drink now or hold for a year or two. An interesting combination of styling and blend of various Napa Valley regions.Tasted: 07 January 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
