  September 21, 2019 - Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 6 *shared* bottles] from 09/20/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Dr. Tom, *thank* you for once again sharing this amazing wine! :)
  
  51% C.S., 35% Merlot, 6% Carmenere, 5% C.F., & 3% P.V. "fermented in s/s tanks @ temps from 75-90°F, depending on the variety, the desired level of extraction, & seasonal conditions (microbiological load, alcohol potential). During fermentation, 3 pumpovers are performed each day at 0.5-1.5x tank volume, depending on the degree of extraction desired. Total maceration time varies from 20-40 days, according to the development of each individual lot. Afterwards the wine is racked to 100% new FR oak barrels from a range of top FR coopers, for 18 mos, where a good part of the malolactic fermentation was achieved." 14.5% ABV, 2.40 g/l R.S., 3.70 g/l T.A., & 3.49 pH.
  
  N: Green beans (but not unattractively so, at least to me) with RIPE berries & smoke coming on: Intensity lurking
  
  P: LM, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish, spice-tinged frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by THE *barest* HINT of astringent pucker which quite resolves by the very LONG, BALANCED finish with a VERY enticing tangy/swtness (& an OCCASIONAL very, VERY slight bitterness [probably a +]) to the few, firming, TOTALLY innocuous, dusty tannins. VERY impressive stuff for now &, I'd suspect, at least approaching its 20th! 14.5% ABV; My EXC+/Exceptional-. 91 pts WE @ $70, 90 Vinous (Raynolds), and 88 ea Jeannie Cho Lee & Jamie Goode.
  
  Note: I scored this particular bottle SEVERAL notches higher than the one on 3/16/2019.

  June 21, 2019 - UWS; A mixed set of wines (@ JB): Cassis, ripe blackberries and some menthol in the bouquet. On the palate dark berries, sweet spices, vanilla, oak, cinnamon, lead pencil, good acidity and some pleasant sweetness. Round tannin with still a pleasant bite. Beautiful wine. 92 - 93
