Community Tasting Note

94 Points

Thursday, June 11, 2015 - Wine dinner at Blacksalt - Prévost, Krug, Pichler, Raveneau, Fevre, Grivot, LLC, Yquem & etc. (Blacksalt, Washington DC): I like how the 03s are developing as the ripe roasted fruit note diminishes. Very ripe cassis driven nose, licorice, a hint of lead pencil, milk coffee and sweet caramel. Exceptional concentration, intense sweet cassis driven palate impression, bright acidity and nicely integrated tannins. This is very California cult cab like. It is already very enjoyable if you like the primary fruit driven expression but will reach the first stage of peak in ten to fifteen years.
