Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 28, 2014 - This btl came directly from the winery a few months ago with obvious perfect provenance. I double decanted this at 4PM and we started drinking it around 6PM. It showed a fair amount of sediment on the decant leaving a low neck fill after I poured it back into the btl. I put the cork back in until we started drinking it around 6PM. The color is still dark crude with pretty cherry red edges. This has a powerful, in your face, nose of; tobacco, cedar, expresso and berries. Love the Pessac like the nose! The mouth feel is sensual and resolved. Rich, chocolate covered berries, cherries, raspberries, cedar, licorice, and spice on the palate. Big mountain fruit but not heavy or flabby. Rather, very focused and impressive. Excitingly fresh and vibrant. Long! Delicious and a perfect pairing with tenderloin tonight. I'm excited to have 2 more left and I plan on drinking them within the next 1-3 years. This is CA mountain Cab at its very best!
