4/28/2020 - Quiet Lion Likes this wine: 94 pointsDecanted and served. This was confused but delicious over two hours, with pure, delicious fruit wound about a core of firm tannins and some charred earth. I would hold off for some time on opening this to let the palate relax and integrate and be worth the price of admission but still a very enjoyable drink even now.

Indeed, just having had the 99 Palmer a few weeks ago, the nose on this puppy was damn near identical and in almost every way – perfumes of cassis and aged tobacco, cool mint tones, graphite and minerality up the Wazzu, it was all there leaving no doubt in my mind this would have fooled the best of em’. Oh man the palate was just a beast, and firmly in the old world Syrah camp, if just a tad (and I mean just a touch) modern. Tannic and pretty much impenetrable (yet light on its feet in that classic French manner), it was hard to really get a good read on this, but the high end raw materials are there, it just needs time. A lot of time. BTW this was decanted a good 8 hrs and I really wish I would have been able to track this over the course of a few days, oh well, it was really good even so. Having the 99 of this wine last year, Jean Luc knows his stuff, no question.

(caveat, popped and poured, this is an out of bottle reaction,this will change but I won't update my note, and don't judge me harshly, I'm a busy guy, will post update if I can!)

Similarly lean on the palate and really not much flavor, period. Something's in my mouth but I don't really care what it is (wine you say?). Soft finish, slightly green, tart and very lean. This really headed down hill from the barrel sample last year and became completely hollow.

11/12/2014 - Roentgen Ray wrote: 92 pointsIt's a really good North Napa Cab from Calistoga, an AVA that should be and isn't. Its a warm Oak grove in a valley with beautiful fruit. I don't want to promote it because my price might go up. If you see it, and have a cellar, and you like balance and a little fruit, and a little stone, and a little strength, this might be a wine you like.

12/6/2015 - Roentgen Ray wrote: 90 pointsThis was far less mature than I had expected, likely a reflection of the Magnum format, and that it's been in cellar since release. The flavor reminded me of a 2008 Keenan Cabernet I tasted a few years ago that was yet to integrate the tannins and oak. Additionally, aromatics of the fruit was still primarily fresh, like it was just bottled a couple of years ago.
