Community Tasting Notes 82

  March 1, 2024 - My fourth bottle, and at least according to my notes, my lease favorite. Tart red fruit, short finish, and no mid palate. Not sure if it the age, or just an off bottle. But, not what I have come to expect from the Black Cat.

  November 24, 2023 - This got buried in the cellar for a few years and I found it when I moved to a new offsite storage facility. The extra age has served it well. The tannins are fully integrated, and it has an elegant, Bordeaux like quality. No need to wait any longer, but no great rush to drink either. I’ll probably drink my last two bottles over the next year.

  August 17, 2021 - Similar notes to the bottle I had from 2014 - lots of red fruit and light on its feet, especially mouthfeel. Feminine cab? Seemed well balanced, if just a little short on the finish.
