2011 Donati Family Vineyard Cabernet SauvignonPaicines more |
8/23/2018 - ramclain Likes this wine: 90 pointsAt this age, this wine changes every 10 minutes! Robust and powerful at first, then moving to smooth and well balanced. After decanting and settling down after 30 to 40 minutes, I got notes of ripe plum, tobacco, and all-spice. After a bit more time, there were pleasant notes of light caramel at the finish. |
