High rating? Nope, not for the wine that poured out of that bottle! It may have been the perfect storm of proper storing, but holy crap!! Absolutely amazing! Best bottle I've drank to date! Unfortunately this was consumed about 4 months ago, so I don't have a flavor profile to provide... I only now thought about looking it up on here and seeing if there were any other tasting notes. I received the bottle as a gift from my roommate/landlord for helping him out, and when he heard how good the bottle was he was pretty jealous. Seeing as he has a 1995 Cabernet Reserve bottle, I'm going to do my damnedest to get my hands on it as well! They were both bought together and stored appropriately, so if that was the factor that made the '96 so good, I want to try the '95 Reserve as well! :)
