Community Tasting Note

aerosol Likes this wine: 94 points
April 24, 2021 - A group brought in several wines for an informal tasting and this was one of them. The Cab was decanted and open an hour before I got to it and the nose was big, bold, perfumery and intoxicating like opium. The color in the glass is a deep blue purple and presents itself as a very young wine. The palate is even bigger than the nose and is filled with cassis, deep ripe blackberry, mushroom, tobacco, and black cherry. This is a massive mouth full of Cabernet that has had 7 years so far to age. There's an unusual mint tone in the back end that reminds me of the flavor of oregano (without the smell), or maybe a heavy licorice note that lingers in the back of the finish that is agreeable. It's a massive big ass Cab that leaves a lasting memory for sure and stands out from the rest. I consider myself lucky that we had a positive experience because the notes below are concerning and might indicate a lot of bottle variance
