Community Tasting Notes 96

  June 25, 2022 - Pretty tight on the pop n pour but really opens up to a beautiful wine after about one hour. Le Cave below describes it well. It dazzles the nose, explodes in the mouth and finishes balanced and long. Supple tannin and beautiful fruit. Excellent with the new York steak. Drink or hold.

  July 24, 2021 - Sourced from the Estate's Rock Cairn Vineyard in Oakville, this pristinely cellared bottle (served by a fellow oenophile at a dinner party) had been double-decanted and was serially tasted over 3-4 hours at the party. Deep garnet in color, it oozes with dark plums, figs, baking spices, leather and cocoa. Full-bodied, freshly acidic and with well-integrated alcohol (listed as 14.7%), it is layered and dense on the mid-palate. The tannins are medium in weight but have greatly benefitted from their 14 years of hibernation, as they are quite supple in texture. The wine's oak has likewise nicely assimilated, making for a very harmonious tasting experience that concludes with impressive length. At this stage in its evolution, it is classic in quality. Comparably cellared bottles should remain enjoyable throughout the remainder of the decade. Drink now-2030.

  September 26, 2020 - Opened the evening before a friend brought it to taste. Still big and powerful, medium to full bodied, classic Cali/Napa Cab. Lots of oak driven vanilla and cedar and tobacco notes, black fruit and a fairly long persistent finish. Masculine but not over the top. Soft and round mouth feel. Solid.
