an absolute joy and triumph. just superb, showcasing the best of oakville. perfect tannins, as pure as velvet and sweet, and perfect oak, too, with beautifully applied char and wood spice. that the oak is 100% new is in keeping with the wine's volumetrics. the wine's flavors are a profound, heady expression of blackberries, blueberries, cassis and dark, barely sweetened chocolate. just spectacular, a real achievement by any world class standard. production was a scant 275 cases.
