IX Estate Napa Valley Red Wine

Unfortunately, there was no reunion with Paul this year either. But in spring we received two bottles of IX 2018, neatly packed in an insulated box with cooling elements. Just as it should be. We opened them all in one evening and no, there are no pictures. But I can tell you it was an epic evening! And the people who were there have pledged to keep quiet about it! So and now to the wine, the 2018 IX a wine that is sure to become a legend! Allison Tauziet, the winemaker, says that 2018 is similar to 2016 but simply has more to say. Exactly, and the 2018 is a little more precise too! It already smells divine. Blueberry compote combines with a wonderful gingerbread aroma, light Cuban tobacco and divine black tea notes. The wine moves with focus and precision on the palate, like Rossi riding a motorcycle. Breathtaking, simply perfect!
