  Casual theme: Guessed modern 2009 right-bank Bordeaux, was pleasantly surprised on reveal. Ripe blackcurrant fruit without any greenness. Deep dark fruit undertones, some cassis and mocha notes but not overdone. A wonderfully fresh expression of a Cab, as is the norm with Napas from this era.

  Their first vintage. Vineyard planted in 1985, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 2 years in new Nevers oak. 13% abv. Very dark garnet, with some slight clearing at the rim. At first, this is all black plums and clovey oak - it was a bit cool to start. With some time it starts to move - cream and licorice, waxy pink flowers, green olives. The texture is suave and open, acid is balanced. After three hours of being open, there’s a high toned minty/ashy/chocolate accord that is really pretty. I think that this would fool a lot of people blind - the ripeness and lack of hard edges plus the mint-chocolate note would push you Australian in a hurry.

  4th Saturday Group Cellar Diminishment (Sue’s): One of the highlights of the evening for me. Currant and saddle leather aromas give way to cedar, herb and dusty earth qualities. Wonderful depth and nuance. Plum and leather on the palate. Lingering finish. I see no benefit to holding this any longer. (SS)

  WOW WOW WOW…. For its vintage, very pronounced nose with big black ripped fruits, oak, earthy. On the palate, juicy black fruits, black cherry, vanilla, chocolate, almost resemble of fruit cake or should I say like Christmas?!🎄🧑‍🎄 this was perfect for a rainy Singapore’s weather, feeling the chills sipping down big bold wine. #missingthecold #holidaymood ❄️
