2014 MacDonald Cabernet SauvignonOakville more |
11/24/2019 - atilathehun Likes this wine: 97 pointsBest wine I’ve had; what hits you is the purity of fruit and the sheer power yet it’s so light...so good I got light-headed. forget this nonsense of decanting it for a day; or at least continually taste it over your chosen decant period because best for me was between hour 1 and 3 post it being open, would be a travesty to have missed that window and waited 9+ hours to try it |
