Community Tasting Note

92 Points

Friday, August 24, 2007 - Taken to dinner at Houston's with Youndy, Gerry and Rob. Along with a '97 Livingstone, this was my favorite of the evening (with about 6 other Cabs on the table). I bagged it to see if the guyz would pick it as bdx, which they did...but they missed the year.. this still looks youthful in the glass, huge nose. Lots of dried fruits in the aroma, layered and complex. On the palate, the same... fruit, but lean with those secondary flavors of cedar and tobacco popping thru. A really nice bottle of wine, my 4th, from a so-so vintage.
