2018 Allegory Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Howell Mountain AVA
2/4/2024 - Eli’s Vino Likes this wine:
2018 Allegory CabSav Howell Mountain - half bottle decanted (big mistake). Initially I would have confused this with overripe Israeli CS. The decanted portion was both cloyingly ripe and hollow in the middle. The non-decanted portion tasted ripe but very well structured. 36 hours later it is more of what I would expect from Howell Mtn.
Ripe blackcurrants/crème de cassis, blackberries and black plums, hints of greenness (hope this will evolve to mint). Good acidity and tannins to keep it developing. Must shed its baby fat. Retry in 3 years. Should keep through 2033+.

2012 Château Giscours Kosher
2/4/2024 - Eli’s Vino Likes this wine:
2012 Giscours - given a tough vintage, this is quite decent. Dried blackberries, cherries, dried herbs, earth, tobacco, leather, hint of something floral. Tannins with edge , but well integrates. Acidity is nice. 24h later quite thin all around. Drink now.

2001 Château Guiraud Kosher
2/4/2024 - Eli’s Vino Likes this wine:
2001 Guiraud - Luscious, richly verdant desert beauty… pretty much as good as it gets in kosher Sauternes. Will keep improving for at least a decade, probably more.
