Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 1, 2019 - Bought 12b for 10.50/b about six years ago. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark purple; rich black fruit nose (blackberry, blackcurrant), some oak; mature black fruit body with good mouthfeel; some persistence. Brings to mind the best good value Cali cabs I've had over time. Delicious. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
