January 1, 2019 - Exceptional mature Bandol. Drinking really nicely at this point. A beautiful wine. Menthol, Cassis, cola tint. WOW.
Drank from a magnum on New Years Eve with some close friends. -

May 30, 2017 - Wow. Complete, mature wine full of earth, barnyard, a slight hint of dark fruits. Full and retained a freshness with a well-balanced palate throughout and a long, integrated finish. Paired very well with 30-day dry aged Flannery NY Strips.
Wish I had more old Cabassaous...1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 13, 2011 - Tempier Tasting (Tom's House, Palo Alto): Group's #8, my #6 (Yes, I thought other wines were worse than a corked wine.) Cheesy nose, reticent aromas, very short bitter finish. Flawed.
