1994 Pahlmeyer Napa

[winoweenie]

Found 4,yes FOUR, of these orphans whilst putting away some stuff in the cellar. What a bottle! Medium dark ruby. Slight bricking on rim. Outstanding nose of flowers, ripe red fruits, sweet spices and a whiff of menthol. All come over on the palate along with creamy raspberry mousse. Silky entry, medium center and a 4+ lapper finish. The only other Merlot I've experienced (excluding Pomerols) that age this gracefully are Dan Duckhorns 3 Palms vineyard. I'm sure as the blue-blazes not gonna' lose these agin' so they'll be gone in the next few months. 93/90 40 by the box. 14.4% alc. WW
