Community Tasting Note

  June 21, 2019 - Excellent buy from K&L in the $30 range - a steal for mature cab of good quality. Defiantly some heavy and stale funk upon opening—blows off after two or so hours and this bottle became progressively more fresh and vibrant with time from there.

  6/24/19, 7:10 AM - To qualify my review a bit -- I have opened two bottles so far. Both had a heavy stale funk. Both recovered with air but only one really came to life. Also, the mature tobacco/earth/menthol flavors are prevalent so this isn't a great bottle for people looking for a wine where the fruit is very forward. I think there is balance and I am happy for the price as this was somewhat of a gamble anyway. Would love to know your thoughts when you open a bottle.
