    I have nothing to say but admiration for the Orin Swift production of Papillion ( big brother of "Prisoner" a stellar cabernet from the previously mentioned ). A glorious example of a Napa cab., superbly balanced, all round palate pleaser. An abundance of subtle blackberry, current & caramelized notes , yet not over-powering .!!! Bravo ...!!! Decant a hr., or two..and let the romance begin .
