St. Michael Lambourn, Howell Mountain

Well balanced, complex, and elegant.

Delicious. Notes of carmel and not too viscous.

.Only 120 bottles produced. Tasted 2 days ago, Very pleasant nose. I remember strawberries,nuts, and vanilla, other fragrances were there that I forget today. On the palate this wine was very enjoyable. Up front I tasted strawberrys,and a slight flavor of cherrys followed by figs, walnuts,raisins,and creamy vanilla maple syrup. Nice balance, the alcohol taste was not prevalant . even at 18.7%. I may have rated it higher, but kept it lower due to my lack of port experience
