  한국 웹에서 평점 등을 찾기가 어려워서 좀 겁이 났었지만 막상 마시고 나니 어마어마한 만족감을 줬던 와인.
  아마 블라인드로 했으면 보르도 레드, 그것도 어느정도 오래된 와인이라고 하지 않았을까?
  말그대로 지금 마셔도(라고 하기엔 그래도 7년이 지났지만) 맛있게 마실 수 있게 잘 만든 미국 와인.
  
  노즈에서는 가죽향과 검은 과실이 아주 두드러진다.
  시간이 지나도 이러한 향은 거의 사라지지 않고 점점 더 좋아하지는 기분이다.
  오히려 미국 와인에서 기대할 수 있는 바닐라향은 거의 느껴지지 않는다.
  
  팔렛에서는 꽤나 우아하게 풀린 탄닌이 매력적이다.
  피니시가 조금 짧은 게 아쉽지만 바디감도 꽤나 묵직한 잘 만든 보르도 와인이지 싶다.
  산도가 조금 약한 게 아쉽긴 하지만 그런대로 Drinkable 하다.

  I agree with Chanote44…
  
  Lovely and pure Dark cherries, ripe blackberries and a touch of earthy chocolates not being shy on the black spice note. (Yeah this is real Cab)
  
  Even in 2017’s heat the wine is balanced darker than 16’ and 18’ but still great balance and the tannins are slightly chalking but still very fine.
  
  A great wine proper old school napa in the 2017 vintage and Trefethen again NEVER leaves me disappointed!

  Great old school Napa Cab. Not overly sweet or extracted.

  We enjoyed this, though it was lighter than what we remembered. It was good, but my memory and note from the previous bottle, made this one seem not as strong as the other. Wished it had a bit more fruit flavor and dryness.
