Community Tasting Notes (30) Avg Score: 92.1 points

  • Drank for 31st anniversary dinner. Lovely bottle. Fully mature cab. A rich mature plum/dark fruit offering. Totally resolved tannins. Likely better 5 years earlier but a fun bottle. Drink up if you have a bottle.

  • Had a not great bottle of this a couple of years ago. Was hoping it was an off bottle! (it was)

    Beautiful nose of black currant, creme de cassis, charred oak and mint. Medium-bodied, this is fully mature but absolutely delicious at this moment! Drink now.

    After dinner: This is still holding up very well, hasn't faded a bit. Some richer black cherry fruit has emerged and that lovely mind and cassis has gotten a bit more vivid. So delicious! Concentration wise 93, delicious-wise 94

    Tatiana says 94.

  • Score - delicious. Rewarding. Worth cellaring. Coior still magenta hued. Smooth, balanced aromas are classic cabernet -w the RIGHT kind of green component-olive not b pepper. Day 2
    2/3 bottle. Rich generous texture w Spicey oak (still) and Classic cab flavors. M/F body. Maraschino Cherries, great balance between LUSH and pleasing acidity w fine grip. Just excellent length- balanced w slightly charred tannins - bright - not astringent at all, and echoed fruit and ripe stems. Dont tell me this was destemmed lol.
    Pro cellar since release, 60 degree home cellar past 2 years. Ashbury Mkt.

  • Dinner with Friends (Reserve 22, Glen Ellyn): Double decanted off its sediment a little over three hours before service. On first pour there’s dark fruit and leather notes, but also something along the lines cedar, but not quite, almost a musty bark note. It took a while to fully reveal itself, but yes, there is definitely some TCA lurking in there, and it became more evident on the palate before it really showed up in the bouquet.
