Community Tasting Note

93 Points
Saturday, December 25, 2021 - Drank last night as part of a mini-vertical of '96, '99 and '03 DV cabs, notes from memory so not detailed. This edged out the equally excellent '99 as my WOTN, but all 3 wines are drinking very well right now. This is entering its secondary development, and is more red-fruited in its profile than the other two vintages. Red plum, baking spice and a bit of cedar. Better than my last bottle from a few months ago by a good margin.
