Big, fruit forward, and classic Napa cult Cabernet. Ripe, dark blackberry with with notes of dark chocolate, cassis and tobacco. Hints of vanilla and spice along with silky/sweet tannins on the finish. Delicious!

As always, the Buccella Cabernets are big opulent Napa Cabs. Dark and rich, with plenty of red and black fruit, cocoa, cassis, and oak, I thought that for me the taste was a little overpowered by charred oak and could use more time in the bottle, however of the four of us, the two women preferred this wine over the more subtle but stunning 2018 Schrader CCS.

QPR off the charts if you bought at release.

45 min of air after a shake decant.

Smoke, Asian spice, black cherry, black raspberries, red raspberries, herbal and faint mineral backbone, tannins at bay, oak integrated. Fruit still at the forefront even at 12 yrs, this was awesome. Even Mrs Geaux gushed on this one, remarking that she now understands why we cellar this stuff. While there may be some bottle variation based on past notes, this was a lottery win! Best bottle to date!

This wine is ready to go. No kick from alcohol and fully integrated tannin. Savory.

Candied blueberries, almost syrupy but not nearly thick enough to warrant that type of descriptor. Soooooo balanced that I almost can't believe this isn't an even pricier bottle.

Short, but wonderful finish.

I'm all over the place with my notes as I am adding them whimsically near the very last sip of my glass.

This is an excellent wine and I am so thankful to have it sliding deep inside my wet, hot, willing mouth.

Big dark and rich, flavorful mix of red and black fruit. Very enjoyable. I find the Buccella Cabs to be consistently good each year, and as mentioned before, the bottle is incredibly heavy, feeling as heavy empty as some bottles feel when full.

Impressive! Has already a ripeness combined with depth. Bouquet of dark fruit, chocolate, vanilla. Long and silky finish although the tannins still have some grip.

Back side of its primary window.....surprised it's still in a similar place from nearly six years ago. A touch more raisin-y this time around.

Previous note:I have been waiting to open this one for a while now and had as the 2nd wine of the night at C. Ellets in Atlanta. Agree with the other reviews...smooth, sweet tannins and has developed very nicely over 14 years. Probably no more than 1-2 more years left in the primary drinking window.

Great winery, love their bottles, so heavy but the wine can be so good it's a disappointment because you believe there is more left but it's empty. This wine is perhaps on the downward slope. Still a nice with good complexity with good balance however I personally prefer slightly more youthful cabs with a bit more backbone. The older fruit is apparent. Drink up and enjoy for sure don't decant. PNP.

First impression was why such a heavy bottle, good grief.

However, what’s inside is pretty good. Very dark in color and the fruits, tannin and alcohol support it. A tad to extracted but even with so much going on its was nicely balanced paired up nicely with strong proteins and fat. A solid wine and good for several years.

Nice dark color. Plenty of blackberries, plums and cherry. Hints of spices, oak, and chocolate. Pretty nice acid, firm tannins on a medium finish. This particular isn’t all there yet. I’ll wait to try my 2nd bottle in a year or two.

It's interesting. I opened and let it aerate for half an hour, which i think was a good idea. That allowed some of the funk to blow off, and allowed the licorice and berry flavors to shine through. Charcoal, and some plum layered in there also. Definitely needs the 30-45 minutes to settle down.

Mörkt röd. Medel syra och tanniner. Mörka bär, en svag ton av mint. På gränsen till hög alkohol. Förvånansvärt ungt och hade vunnit på vila i några år till. Men en utmärkt cab.

Had with a bone in rib eye. Still good fruit showing through. The tannins are well integrated resulting in a smooth wine. I don’t think the wine will benefit from further aging .

At home with Val and Suzy, last tasting 2021. Paired with grilled NY Strip Steaks, asparagus, roasted potatoes, "BLT" Popovers - a killer combo and perfect for a rainy night in.

Notes from 2021: "Saturated purple/ruby, no separation. Really expressive nose right out of the bottle, jumps out of the glass...showing dark and blue fruits, floral/violet, faint coffee ground. Rich palate of dark cherry, blueberry pie (still there from my last note...), plum and currant. Cedar and mocha complement the fruit on the mid palate. Rich and full bodied. tannins are sweetened and smoothed."

Decant was worthwhile, wine continued to improve in the glass. While I said in my last note this may be at its peak, this showed no signs of decline from the last tasting. An excellent wine and perfect pairing with steak and savory flavors...

4th Saturday Group: Uptown Brown Bag (V&M's): Blind. Opens with an elegant perfumed floral quality, almost potpourri-like. Notes of black fruit, plum and chocolate are apparent under the floral notes. Full-bodied, with medium tannin and flavors of plum, espresso powder, black fruit and chocolate. Finishes with good length. Balanced.

I suspected this might be our bottle as it seemed a touch older, but as I switched bottles I wasn't entirely sure. This had been double decanted off its sediment three hours before the flight was poured. Drinking well, but there's no need to rush here. Drink now with a bit of air or hold through 2028+.

Restaurant purchase. One hr decant at cellar temps. Young. Too young even with an hour of air. Seems to have potential but hints of blackberry and raspberry were hidden behind a tall wall of tannins and structure. 92 as is, likely will age at the pace of the ‘13, so wait 5 yrs minimum for mid-upper 90s potential.
