Community Tasting Notes (average 85.8 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) | |
| Tasted by bboy on 1/23/2010 & rated 84 points: The second bottle Christine turned out much nicer. Typical Cab and a relief that it wasn't smokey as many southafricans turned out to be. (53 views) | |
| Tasted by bboy on 12/25/2009 & rated 78 points: Lacking structure, watery on the palate. (115 views) | |
| Tasted by rs on 9/18/2009 & rated 88 points: Last bottle was corked so I was excited to try it again and this bottle was a big step forward. On the nose: Mint, tobacco, cherries and barnyard whiffs. Mediumbodied with striking balance and good acid, on the palate red berries, herbs, tobacco and cedar and quite good length. Good without food too. (247 views) | |
