This Bernard Magrez 2016 is one of the purest expressions of Napa’s best undiscovered gems today. Immensely hedonistic and satisfying on many levels. This flashy new release shows superb concentration and purity of dark fruit deftly melded together with exotic notes of mocha, espresso, and spicy oak. The palate, supported by a velvety smooth structure of fine tannins, is loaded with crème de cassis, ripe plum, and striking minerality. Thrilling now (after decanting), it will continue to evolve for another 10 years in the cellar.
