Bought since release and cellared since at 59 degrees.
1st 45 minutes - beautiful fruit forward flavors that I was not expecting for the less than optimal ‘11 Napa vintage. Really well balanced fruit and glycerine that is not overdone. If this is your wheelhouse definitely drink now and enjoy for the first hour. If you have a friend or two on hand you will have no trouble finishing it in short order.
Open plus :45 - 2:30. This is when, to me, it gets increasingly interesting and morphs from a Napa beauty to a mysterious high end BDX if you were drinking it blind. The beautiful balance continues but the clglycerine transforms to a subdued mouth coating of dark fruits that remain light on its feet. Some subtle green notes complement the BDX experience in a really good way. Very good fruit profile remains. Might be fun to open and pour at 2:00 as a wild card for your BDX fans. Would not do side by side with a BDX ( that might be stretching the analogy) but on a one off basis it would be interesting to gauge. Solid 93.5 points pointer for me.
