Community Tasting Notes 10

  November 2, 2023 - Great nose with dark cab fruit but also great high tones of eucalyptus and maybe a touch of pepper. The initial attack seems to have some volatile acidity in a way that I find pleasant. Good mouthfeel. Relatively high acidity for a cab from here, tannins are softening. Overall this is a really nice and alluring bottle of wine. No reason to wait, I get the sense it's starting to slide off the back end a bit.

  September 12, 2022 - Not decanted. Moderate to heavy sediment. Crinson color. Paired with filet mignon. This was showing some age. The fruit seems to be fading a bit but it had a nice rustic character with tobacco, lead pencil and plum notes. I previously had the 2008 and 2010 vintages which i liked better at a younger age. 89 points.

  March 18, 2022 - Thin and overly acidic. Hoping it's just an off bottle, as this is not typical for this site or producer.

  September 3, 2020 - Powerful bold rich wine. Still a lot of life left. Starting to throw sediment.

  June 21, 2020 - Decanted for 45 minutes and served with prime ribeyes. Fairly dark color. Intoxicating bouquet of incense, lavender, plum, black cherry and blackberry liqueur. Hints of vanilla, spices and brambly black fruits emerge as we neared the end of the bottle. Still has a bit of a tannic bite which worked well with the fatty ribeyes. Loads of black fruit on the palate with a bit of spice lingering on the finish.
