Initial taste is darkish fruit, maybe, sort of blackberry and stays the same through the end of the glass (30 min) - very monotone; very smooth; nice mouthfeel; acidity keeps it fresh, tannins not an issue; still has some structure; as with other bottles, no cabernet profile; not over-ripe or over-extracted; kept waiting for sweetish fruit, but didn't happen. Relatively tasty, but lack of cab profile disappointing. This probably could go a bit longer. |

3/8/2024 - Yack Man Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis wine is in a good spot, drinking nicely at this point. Dark crimson color with a sweet candy like nose. On the palate, dark cherry and berry fruits with some acidity. 92+/93 Points. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (3) |

2/14/2024 - Thebigbaby Likes this wine: 90 pointsAging gracefully and beautifully. Light crimson in the glass with aromas of spice and berries. The wine has a nice balance of that spice and berries and carries a long finish that coaxes you into that next sip… |

2/10/2024 - Yack Man Likes this wine: 92 points2018 is a vintage that was overhyped, maybe overrated by my estimation. Obviously that can’t be said for all of the 2018 Cabs, I have tried some good ones. The barrel samples that I tasted were very compelling. However, after bottling, a good number of them shut down, went into a dumb phase and failed to deliver the almost instant gratification experienced with some previous vintages. That was the case with a 2018 Scarlett in my opinion. As stated in a previous note, this wine is on a path to improvement. Although good, this bottle is still showing tight, suppressed, slightly tart and acidic. Nice fruit, intense dark ruby red garnet trending to a slightly purple color. Dark cherry slightly tart, dark red berries, currants and tobacco. Good now but better with extended decanting. Clearly, this one requires more cellaring like many of the 2018 Cabs. But 2018 Scarlett is slowly emerging into a good wine that’s on an improving course. 92+/93 points. |

First sip is mostly warmth, maybe some faint dark fruit in the background; everything else obscured. After 15 min or so from first sip, the warmth has moved to the finish; acidity and tannins are not a problem; medium+ mouthfeel; fruit a bit more noticeable, not too ripe or extracted, but now very darkish and not that pleasant. No resemblance to cabernet, Cali or elsewhere. This bottle is very different from the others I've had. I guess it can go longer, but hard to see it improving. |

2/2/2024 - DavidWong168 Likes this wine: 94 pointsInviting aromas of sweet clove, citrusy cardamom, dark berries and plum that make your mouth water. Wonderful depth and terrific energy on the palate. The first sip electrifies the senses and then the flavors taper slowly, showing earthy complexity on the finish. Acidity, alcohol and tannins are nicely balanced. |

1/21/2024 - Yack Man Likes this wine: 94 pointsA good bottle wine, but not as good as previous bottles. Showing more acidity and not as expressive, lacking useful energy at this stage. Off bottle, perhaps? Starting to fade? I have a few more bottles in the cellar, so we’ll see. 94/ 94+ Points. |

1/15/2024 - Yack Man Likes this wine: 94 pointsOne of my favorite wines from the 2014 vintage. The color is more dark reddish purple color with a lively aromatic nose. On the palate, a little repressed until it gets some air. After a short decant this wine is open for business in a very good way. I side with James Suckling in his assessment of this delightful nectar: Lovely balance and rich but not overly so. There's firm and silky tannins and a fresh and continuous backbone. Medium to full body dominated by black cherry and dark berry fruits and some oak and spice. 94+/ 95 solid points. |

Luxardo cherries, anise, more brandy, hint of booze, but in a good way, on the palate, red licorice, red fruit, oak and tannins integrated. More air did not improve, but it did not fall off either. My last bottle. |

9/7/2023 - Yack Man Likes this wine: 95 pointsA fabulous Cab that may have lost a tad of its luster, but just a tad. Dark cherry and berry fruit, cassis, plum with some tobacco. Drinking well, perhaps an off bottle or time may be catching up with this vintage. I still have a few in the cellar so we'll see if that's the case with my next experience. 94/95 Points |

8/31/2023 - davidandrose Likes this wine: 94 points2 hr decant. Not much to add to my last round of notes. Nose is like walking through late spring gardens. Great balance makes this extremely approachable, and very easy to pair with poultry or fish, though capable of standing up to beef. |
