Friday, August 21, 2015 - Viking dinner at RJs - 96 Salon, 09 Coche CC, 01 Rousseau, 06 CSS, 06 Masseto, 01 D'Yquem and etc. (Reston, Va): Incredibly intense nose that is dominated by crème de cassis and licorice, also blackberry jelly, incense, violet, root beer, dark caramel and a hint of lead pencil. Big and chewy palate, incredibly think yet remarkably silky, intense cassis driven palate impression, bright acidity, no noticeable tannins due to intense layered fruit and lovely long sweet finish. I love blue/cassis fruit driven expression of Schrader cabs. This is still incredibly youthful and will benefit from another decade of cellaring. Really impressive wine.
