Full bodied, dark fruited. Like a CdP but still tannic 15 years later. The fruit is still present but the tannins are outshining it now. Given the elevated alcohol, I don't think this will age too much longer or gracefully. Not all wines live forever.

"Classic Values" night (Phillip's apt, Chicago IL): this bottle was a real mess. Highly disjointed on both the palate and nose with some weird black fruits, bad black licorice and a whole lot of burnt plastic tones. There is nothing but tannins and out of whack acidity on the palate. Something just doesn't seem right about this wine and revisiting it later in the evening only made it worse. I'm with holding judgment until possibly trying a bottle in the future

This was bottle 14896 of lot L8113, as some others noticed this is a Bordeaux like wine in that it was dry but the tannins were very smooth and mellow. This had some burnt rubber on the nose initially but like many wines I like to give my wines a couple hours of air in a decanter or glass. The nose had dark strawberries, walnuts, caraway seed, and some tobacco. Palate had spice and nice acidity. I had one of these many years ago and enjoyed it also. I only recently heard about the problems with this wine and wondered if I would agree that it was bad, but fortunately both of these bottles were a great deal. I would gladly buy these wines again if they were available.

doe letzte Flasche 02/2009 war eher entaeuschend , vielleicht auch nicht in Ordnung, was anscheinend des oefteren bei diesem Wein vorkommt.
Nach 1 Stunde im Dekanter eroeffnen sich Lakritz, Heidelbeere, Brombeere. Textur eher elegant mit leichten Tanninen. Langer Abgang. Interessante Mischung der Trauben Petit Verdot und Monastrell.

bottle# 33284, Lot 8193. medium ruby, translucent, no fading. nose: red currant, blueberry, boysenberry, licorice (indeed), pimento, eukalyptus, dried weed, vanilla, pencil shavings. palate: meduim body, tannins are not aggressive (anymore), but substantially masculine, the buttery note of wood tannins seems to neutralize a bit. 25 Caudalie. a bit too much oak for my palate, but still a decent wine. next bottle in 2011.

I really enjoyed this wine as a nice full bodied and more earthy alternative to a typical California cabernet. Medium-dark purple. Pomegranite, blueberries, and some gaminess. Lots of wood shavings and vanilla -- oaky but not over-oaked.

Very solid with grill filet mignon... very dark fruits, blueberries and some graphite flavors on the nose and palate. Big, full body with a solid finish.

Wildly ironic: This ingestion marks the second time this wine has been served to me blind, and I fuggered it all up AGAIN. Substantially more forward and new-worldy than the last showing of this little lady, with lots of caramelly oak wafting from the glass. The spiciness remains--lots of it, in fact--and the flavors seem more cordial and open than they did last time, coming across more loudly in the black fruit spectrum than the reds of the last bottle. Vanilla and violet are married nicely on the nose and the palate, buttressing some streamlined notes of earth and graphite, though it's easy to miss these subtleties in the rush of fruit flavors. The color is starting to brick, indeed quite noticeably at the rim, and the tannin structure has integrated brilliantly. My thought is that this wine is peaking, and that its pre-2010 showings may have been mildly (in some cases, not so mildly) disjointed. My stab in the dark as to this wine's identity: 2006 Le Serre Nuova from Ornellaia. A disastrous pick from the get-go given the signs of age in the wine's color; however, never having seen nor tasted the '06 LSN, I rationalized that it could in fact be a non purple-ized wine, a true Tuscan, and could have softened in color as have many of its 2006 Chianti cousins.

In sum, this was a delicious bottle of wine and, dare I say, utterly different from the last. I'd put this in a line-up of Cali Cabs as a ringer, and wager heavy on the likelihood of some twit proclaiming the profundities of Howell Mountain fruit. That being said, who doesn't love Howell Mountain fruit? Rather, who wouldn't love it at under $25/bottle? Rest assured, Spain awaits your dollars with open arms.

Nous avions la bouteille 38 286 sur 44 000! Bon peu de notes prises, sinon que le mélange monastrell et petit verdot apporte une vraie touche de cabernet. Excellent, sans trop en mettre plein la bouche comme les vins du nouveau monde, on retrouve une belle puissance, un côté fumé qui allait très bien avec les grillandes de porc.

Checking in with this. Popped and poured. Nose of blueberry, smoked meat, anise, plum, spice. On the palate, gobs of blue and black fruits, gamey smoked meat, melted black licorice, spicy oak. Finishes with sturdy tannins and juicy acidity. Drink with a long decant or continue to hold. Great value.

Decanted 2 hours and drank over 2 more. Black fruit trying to get past lots of oak on the nose and mouth. Tannins are very pronounced. It will take years for this amount of wood to integrate.

On the nose, I found ripe dark fruits, hints of nail polish remover, dusty rock and minerals with a hint of Pecorino cheese. The palate was tight, more restrained than I expected from the nose, with a high level of acidity showing sour strawberry, cinnamon and a bit of animal musk. The finish was fresh with faded red fruit.

Medium sour cherry red --- Nose mix of herbs and sour cherry, marzipan, clove, cinnamon, anise, dried apple, amarena kirsch --- Mouthfeel fresh and acidic --- Palate very fresh, vivid sour cherry, some bark, nice minerality, earthy tones --- Finishes on minerality and sour cherry mix, clove, soil. Interesting vine, still in development. High acidity, much fruit, herbal, intensive minerality, and cristal clear. If this one really matures and becomes smoother, it will be a top vine.

Decanted (poured into empty bottle and back) 5 hours before drinking. Nice deep red color with plenty of legs. Great nose with intense dark fruit (cherries, blackberries, cassis) and the oak was much less than expected, reminded of pencil shavings. A lot going on on the nose, will get a great bouquet in future I reckon. Slightly hot but with food not too noticable, has 14% though! Taste was good, nice long finish, and very nice mild-medium tannins, much better than expected after reading the notes here on CT. Can put away easily for another 10 years, nice bottle.

This bottle showed rich blue and blackberry fruits on the nose with spice, cola and vanilla. On the palate, I found concentrated sour red fruit with cedar on a tight acid forward frame with a hint of alcohol showing through. The finish is medium long but drying.

Not overly impressive. The wine is above average... though simply an over-ripe, oaked, dark fruited wine. Dried red fruit, raisins, chocolate, vanilla and spice immediately come to mine... med-med-plus body, with balanced acid, which keeps it from being syrupy.... a decent mouthfeel... and a decent finish... which lingers a bit on the palate... though I'd simply compare it to some California Zins... though would actually prefer an average Zin at this moment.. and I think an average Zin would actually be more enjoyable...OK, OK.. Maybe it is a touch more elegant then a Zin, though definitely not worth $40, and barely worth the $20 I paid.. the problem I find with this wine is that nothing sets it apart from the majority of new world wines today... sure it's a unique blend, though it's simply ok.. nothing is wrong with the wine, though nothing is overly impressive... there are definitely more impressive wines on the market for this price point... and definitely plenty of wines on the market that are half the price and more impressive... I would not recommend buying... though if you already own, drink up and move on... it's nothing to put your hopes into... sorry..

Here is a testament to the durability of Mourverdre/Monsatrell. This bottle was left in non-airconditioned space the entire summer, with temps often in excess of 90F. I found it in a box with some liquor bottles. Popped and poured. Nose of blueberry, black fruit, smoked meat, anise, plum, baking spice. On the palate, blueberry, black fruit, licorice, spice, smoked meat. Finishes with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Based on the storage I would say drink with a long decant or continue to hold.

Dinking very nicely at this point, and much better than when I last had it. Paired nicely with a Mexican dinner at El Meson in Freehold, NJ tonight. Wish I had a few more in the cellar, but down to the last one after this.

Very nice wine. Inviting blueberry nose. The palate is fruity, soft with blackberry and cherry flavors. There is a little bit of oak on the finish. Would likely benefit from more time.
