Community Tasting Note

  • King Cab wrote: 98 points

    December 29, 2023 - Coravin'd in the morning and I knew we were in for a ride. Decanted for dinner 5 hours later and sat in decanter 1 hour.
    Deeply colored without any sign visual of age. Nose was pure cassis driven blackberries and black cherry, and I mean black. Incredible. Palate showed a multi-layered array of all things Cab-good: deft fruits of the aforementioned with cedar-box, leather, cassis and creme de menthe. The roundness of mouthfeel was astounding. It was plush and elegant and classy all at once. Balance is fantastic and tannins are still present but covered by the layers of fruits so yeah, you get a little of the Iron Fist/ Velvet Glove thing. Longa and true, THIS is exactly what you sign-up for when you buy these premium Napa Cabernets, and at todays prices, you should get it more often. I place this in the same class as MACDONALD and Bryant Cabernets. Just amazing.
