TN: 2003 Staglin Family Estate Cab. -or- A 2003 that doesn't suck

This is very impressive. Had this at the Napa Vintners on tour in NYC today. Deep dark color.

The nose reveal some creme de casis. A deep core of dark fruit, with super refined tannins wrapped around it. Some mocha with just a hint of oak, so deftly interceded. A super lushness that coats your mouth and a finish that does not want to end. This shows its breed. I have seen the light . My first Staglin, and not my last by a longshot.

95/100
