Community Tasting Notes 97

  April 28, 2024 - My last bottle, and kinda sad about it. Yes, this is a big, extracted, oak-influenced, rich, beautiful, perfumed, deeply fruited, complex and interesting wine. If you don't like big extraction, this isn't for you, but it is balanced. A damn fun and interesting wine, I love it.

  September 19, 2020 - I haven’t opened one of these for years - the wine isn’t showing any sign of age - but I sure remembered liking this a lot more 5 years ago . It’s just too OTT for me. Dense , tons of kreosote , over ripe super dark berries, with toasty oak.

  September 5, 2018 - From memory - dark red/purple color. Expressive, dark-fruited nose of cassis and black cherry. The palate was plush with dark fruit, subtle oak, and integrated tannins. This paired well with grilled steak and should have at least 5-10 more years. Even people who claimed they don’t like cabernet sauvignon, liked this wine.
