I took a chance on this at auction for $18 all in and was surprised at how good it was. Fully mature cab with balanced dark fruits, earth and moderate tannins. 90 points

Had again tonight compliments of Dan D. Once again I repeat earlier notes. The nose was muted at best with background aromas of cherry and cedar wood. In mouth this was dried cherry, dried figs and some cassis. At the mid palette the wine turned to bay leaf, mint and vanilla bean. The finish was chocolate and licorice with hints of tomato leaves.

In an unfortunate product of the lineup tonight, this wine was just OK. Thanks to Dan D for creating the vertical lineup. We had a 10' and 09' reserve and this 07' regular bottling.
The 07' was dryed cherry, dried figs and some cassis. At the mid palette the wine turned to bay leaf, mint and vanilla bean. The finish was chocolate and licorice with hints of tomato leaf.

Wow! Still going strong after 17 years. Whitehall Lane ages amazingly well.
