2002 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

Tasted with family to celebrate a promotion. Served with pizza.

Very smooth! Almost people will like this wine, and with most foods. Tannins are still present but really integrated into the wine. Still has cherry/blackberry notes, leather, medium finish.

Tannins are fully resolved, not much fruit left. While the wine was a bit sour, I don’t think it had turned. Spice notes at the end.

Medium body and medium tannins, with a surprising amount of acidity that made the wine feel almost sour. Left the glass alone for about 10-15 minutes, and after aeration you can taste the standard flavors of a Napa Cab.

Surprising value for money. Balanced tannins, medium acidity. Plum flavors on the palette, and some other nice flavors I couldn’t identify. Really well balanced, very drinkable now.

Very tart. Thick tannins and high acidity. Tart cherries on the tip of the palette, with a hint of spice at the end (perhaps pepper?).

1982 Burgess Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Selection

Napa Valley more

10/6/2017 - charlie190 Likes this wine: 88 points

This is the oldest wine I’ve had. Unique, hasn’t turned yet, but we decanted for over an hour before trying it. Still had fruit flavors, hadn’t maderized yet.

Left the bottle open for about an hour before I poured, and it was incredibly smooth. Still had plenty of fruit, with more savory flavors that come with an older Cabernet.

Big red, that needs to open up a little bit. It was a bit too early for this vintage.

A big red that will “punch you in the mouth.” Pair it with a nice steak, and decant it well in advance of a wonderful meal.

Make sure to chill it and let it breathe for like 5 minutes. Then it's amazing.
