Community Tasting Note

• kkazaks wrote: 87 points

  October 26, 2013 - Upon initially opening, this wine seemed rather sharply acidic, like fresh cranberries. Some time in the decanter allowed the wine to add flesh - smoke and paprika and dark currants and other dark fruit, along with earth and a hint of tobacco.
  
  After about three hours of aeration the wine had a pronounced tobacco note as older Napa Cabs can have, but it was not particularly well-balanced with other flavor or textural elements - the crisp acid was still there hanging on the end but not too well integrated.
  
  Was hoping for better. Will not buy again unless the other bottles I acquired in this lot are showing better.
  
  Not bad but not worth it given other options out there.
