2016 Promontory Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend

Bid on this 3-bottle lot of 2016 Promontory Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend (100JD, 100JS, 100RP, 100TWI, 99VN, 98DC, 97JA, 95WS). Wine Advocate: "Deep garnet-purple, the 2016 Promontory comes barreling out of the glass with bold scents of black cherries, blueberry pie and licorice, leading to a slowly emerging core of crème de cassis, dark chocolate, black soil and truffles plus touches of cumin seed, mossy bark and beef drippings. The full-bodied palate is densely packed with muscular fruit, backed by a rock-solid structure of very firm, exquisitely ripe, grainy tannins and fantastic tension. The finish is both powerful and beautifully nuanced, hedonic and cerebrally gratifying. This singularly stunning expression of Napa Valley is to be released by the winery in 2021. (LPB)" (01/2021)
