Community Tasting Note

  • kevinpatrick Likes this wine: 94 points

    February 13, 2020 - Cork popped probably 1 hour (still in the bottle) prior to sampling. Classic in every way, shape, and form from this 42-year-old gem. Stylistically so different from today’s big bold Napa Cabs, the wonderfully rustic nose was deep and flavorful. Soft and smooth on the mouthfeel the wine showed plenty of body while the deliciously mature fruits showed enough gusto to savor the greatness of this era. There is no reason to wait with wines of this age but it was an incredible treat to shift eras so seamlessly when wines were performing so amazingly well.
