| | Tasted by Harry Cantrell on 6/12/2009 & rated 90 points: Black. Nose suggested a clone of Shafer HSS. But taste was one of the biggest alcohol wines I've had in a while. Even though the berries were running rampant, I really feel it was let to ferment too long. Nose 97 taste 83. (397 views) |
| | Tasted by Winetex on 8/16/2006: Perhaps a flawed bottle as it wasn't drinkable. I will check on it today and revise this note. (1513 views) |
| | Tasted by Winetex on 1/2/2006 & rated 90 points: Dark, cloudy purple in color with a reddish rim. Lots of blackberry, vanilla and mint throughout. I think we probably opened this wine too young but it was a singleton. It only faintly resembled Cabernet but did have impressive concentration. It seemed completely overoaked to me but this is probably a stylistic preference on my part. [Decanted about one hour and needed every minute; Hold on these bottles for a few years and hope for improvement] (2020 views) |
| | Tasted by GlenD on 8/27/2005 & rated 94 points: Chicago Cabernet dinner (Chicago NW Suburbs): Deep blueberries, blackberries and plums. Concentrated and expansive. Very nice. Head and shoulders above the other Noons in the flight. This will probably benefit with some more time in the bottle. Here was one wine that never made it to the dump bucket. 2nd place in voting for Wine of the night. (2260 views) |
| | Tasted by winefool on 8/26/2005 & rated 93 points: Freemott Group Aussie Cabernet Dinner (Glen Doering's): Deep black purple. Lovely rich ripe black fruit aroma. Big black fruit coffee - rich ripe and round. Almost Cote Rotie character. (1205 views) |
