Community Tasting Note

• MNig Likes this wine: 92 points

  January 26, 2018 - Tasted blind. Used glass: Zalto. A wonderfully matured Cab with a few more years ahead of it. Notes of desiccated coconut, leather, some cocoa beans, earthiness, well-integrated, noble cedar wood as well as a minty freshness packed around a slightly sweetish core of black cassis fruit. Good attack on the palate, with cassis, blackberry-juice, some earthy notes and cocoa up in front, really nicely integrated 14.5 abv and good acidity going along with it. Fine-grained and mature tannins. Lengthy finish.
  Trailside Vineyard is mostly considered as the bolder wine, when compared to Martha's, but this bottle is showing some elegance. 92
  
  Blind verkostet in Zalto Gläsern. Schön gereifter Cab mit noch ausreichend Luft für weitere 5 Jahre. In der Nase überwiegen Noten von Kokosflocken, Leder, Kakaobohnen, einer gewissen Erdigkeit sowie gut eingebundenem Zedernholz. All das wird umspielt von einer minzigen Frische, mit einem festen Kern aus leicht süßlicher Cassisfrucht. Gut eingebundener Alkohol mit 14.5 Vol-%, animierender Säure, feinkörnigem, reifem Tannin und einem langen Nachhall. 92
