Friday, June 13, 2008 - Aged CA Cabs, Armory: Ruby Burgundy red; Wow!!! This has a super pungent, awesome, spice, pot-pouri, light red frt nose w/traces of pepper, lite brown spice, herb-tea--very pungent, one said “’sewage...in a good way”) simply awesome; mth was on target, silky, elegant, fine t’s, good a’s, long fin; super complex and smooth--the ideal aged wine. True, it is lighter style, but nothing wrong with that when structure/flavors are what they are. How did this “unrated” low scoring, Sonoma wine become incredible? I am perplexed. And why the super high prices? Anyway, this is just about as perfect as wine gets to me. Maybe 95?
