100 Points

Wednesday, August 2, 2017 - Salon, Hillside Select Vertical, ZH, Bernabeleva (Our home): A Wow wine. This ended up being the groups WOTN. Pop and pour, this took a bit of time to open. Once it did, it kept getting better all night. Still not fully mature. Who knows how long it has left but decades for sure. Purple in color with a bit of clear/ruby at the rim. The nose has cassis and cedar. With air a slight coffee note comes out. Great texture. Not quite lush but in that vein with great depth and complexity. Nice acidity. Lots of fruit tightly layered with char and slight earth. The finish was initially hot but that went away with air. Delicious wine. Nothing to even nit pick about here after about 20 minutes of air.
