Community Tasting Note

  • GoBlue2002 Likes this wine: 93 points

    August 27, 2020 - Great from the first sip. Much better than the bottle tasted 18 months ago -- tannins have integrated nicely .
    Luscious fruit, dark berry, cocoa, spice, oak. Long finish with a touch of complexity. A rich cab.
    Paired well with meatballs in a red sauce. Great wine after a weekend of Michigan wine tasting.

    8/28/20, 12:16 AM - GoBlue thanks for your note. I last drank this 3 years ago and it was super tannic with a lot of alcohol on the nose and palate. I actually had a poor experience but a friend convinced to lay down a bottle. Based on your note I will drink it soon. Cheers!

    8/28/20, 9:38 AM - RayT -- same here. We had a bottle Jan 2019 which was disappointing and tannic. I was happy to see this come around.
