July 26, 2015 - SO nice to break away from the Burgundy vortex every now and then…..this has always been a fan fav for me…..Pauillac on the cheap back in the day…….can't believe its been 6 yrs since my last bottle of this? Still very youthful….smooth and silky, yet still firm with a dusty tannic grip. Might not be fully open for biz just yet…..still statuesque….but the flavors are totally tasty Bordeaux…leather, pencil lead, smoked nuts, dried currants, raspberry, licorice, purple flowers, dusty cedar spice……super smooth feel…then kicker of spice and dried fruit finish. SO fun to sip on…..and more interesting than most Ca. cabs. Plenty more in the tank on this one…wish I had another case!
