“Napa’s Cheval Blanc look-alike!” Impressive Right Bank-style Bordeaux blend. Dark purple-black in color, showing black plum, cassis, black raspberry, licorice, and dried wild herbs tinged with dark chocolate, clove, cinnamon, and French oak. Nice tight structure at this stage, with a dense mid-palate core and fresh acidity, layered with granitic minerality, svelte chewy tannins, very good length, chocolate and herb finish. Drink now through 2030.
