This is of course famous from being aged in used Pappy Van Winkel barrels, but really it’s the quality of the rich, concentrated and delicious old-vine fruit that shines…especially in a vintage like this.
The winery says:
Medium deep opaque purple color with dark red rim. Initial aromas redolent of blackberry and blueberry with underlying hints of red fruits give way to pleasing complex elements of vanilla and toffee. Soft, big, yet elegant mouth feel, rich, full body, density, superb balance and grip, lead to long, long finish, carrying intense ripe fruit and complex flavors. Soft, supple, dramatic, sexy wine with a compelling yummy factor that screams “drink me.”
