• Mrbuzz Likes this wine: 97 points

  September 19, 2017 - Celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary this week. One of many great wines to come in the next few days! This 97 is just as good as our marriage is with 20yrs on it! Still dark with barrel sample youth! Amazing richness yet vibrancy...classic Pride Mtn liqueured berry fruit with creamy mocha chocolate brownies...more dusty now with the age, some dried green tobacco leaves, leather and cassis. Tannins are still firm and grippy dry, but works well with the sweet fruit giving it that graphite powder dryness that I like in my cabs. Dried raspberries and blueberries, exotic oak barrel spice...really nice cherry skin acidity keeps the dancing going fresh and well into the night. SO youthful and fantastic...could crack one of these on our 40th, but alas my last bottle from release. Couldn't ask for more in this wine for our special time! Of course...97pts!
