Baxterna Likes this wine: 99 points
January 30, 2024 - Still a 99. This wine is amazing. Maybe we’re not bougie enough to shame a ‘Napa Fruit bomb’? But me and the lady found this to be nearing perfection. Definitely fruity and complex with a gorgeous balance of med-heavy body, gentle tannins, mild acidity, and moderate alcohol. At 15 years old, it is still gloriously dark plum in color and bright in taste. Some beautiful sediment at the bottom shows its age. No decanting necessary. Although it only got more delicious through the course of our 1 hr meal. If you’re patient enough to wait, could be worth it. Straight from our cellar to our table and into our glass. So delicious! Anything from Scarecrow is so tempting to drink immediately, since that is completely doable, but this is a reminder that maybe I should hold onto my bottles a little longer before I enjoy these delights.
