Howell Mountain, Napa Valley, California, USA
1.5 hour decant(lots of fine sediment). A monumental dark crimson purplish color with little signs of aging. On the nose: beautiful notes of blackberry, stewed meat, dark plum, spice, forest floor, and sandalwood. Taste: creamy, smooth, rich, and such a polished wine with dark fruit, smoke, earth, graphite, tar and a long spiced mineral finish. This Goliath is drinking well at year 15 with the decant, but no hurry, it's ready to go a number of more years. What a treat this Saturday night!

Great structure too young but amazing big restrained fruit. Nose is coco, dark fruits, big structured mouthfeel needs some time finishers with big tannin. Needs more time pop and pour should have decanted.
