' a big daddy', tasted blind, not impressed, I think it may have been an off bottle, dark as motor oil, comes across heavy, prune-y. close to undrinkable.

Drank with Out-of-It in Park City with nice ribeyes. Good overall, but not quite what I’ve come to expect from Colgin. Not quite as round and fruity. May be fading.

Decanted 2 hours. Fruit and hint of earth on the nose. A big but not overpowering CA well constructed wine. Red and dark fruit with tanins well balanced and a long enjoyable finish. Paired well with grilled steak.

Tough to score as this was not a perfect example. There was a touch of seepage despite excellent storage conditions. The cork was spongy, but it came out intact when a Durand was substituted for a corkscrew. A robust and savory nose, showing lots of alcohol, and indeed the alcohol seemed to outweigh the fruit on the palate as well. A smokey Cab, with nice complexity, drying on the finish, though, and lacking that freshness I love with Colgin. The lack of balance likely is due to the inferior cork causing the wine to be more advanced, I suspect.

A complete wine. From start to the long finish the aromas do not let go. Very nice balance. Went up against some big profile wines and did not dissapoint.
