1994 Newton Napa Unfiltered

[winoweenie]

First bottle of this hummer. What a kick. Medium ruby with no hint of orange enny-wheres. Nose of sweet red fruits, vanilla, cassis, and a tad of cinnamon. Lovely entry, a solid center palate, and a 3&1/2 lapper finish. A joy to drink now but with enough stuffing to improve another 1-3. 90/90. 30 but the box. Can't wait to try their premium bottling " Le Puzzle " WW

Had this today and thot at first this baby was a goner. Closed tighter than Buckos' wallet whenced the bistos bill arrives. Clear ruby with slight bticking. After an hour it finally opened to reveal mature plummy fruits, some sweet spices and nice cocoa notes. Not sur this will go anywhere but downhill. Still a really nice bottle. No change in scoring. WW
