Santa Cruz Mountains

Cork

Tasted from magnum. The age shows on the nose, which has lost some depth of colour. There's a slightly cooked character on the nose that is probably a hint of brett, but not too disagreeable. The palate is now sleek and delicate, with less body than younger vintages, and it's losing some brightness and drive. But the fruit remains sweet and charming, and this is fully ready though a light tannic grip remains in place. Quite long.
