Community Tasting Notes 10

    March 15, 2020 - Still so dense. In feel and look. Lovely cool mountain Cab character. If anything this still showed a bit asleep but I doubt it. I say that because it didn't show much complexity. I doubt it needs much more time to find itself though if you have well stored bottles I wouldn't be in a rush. Only slightly faded on night two. These sorts of bottles take me away. Good stuff.

    September 6, 2015 - One spicy meatball. Black-Crimson and rich but balanced with a great tangy note of complexity. Won't lead you to a new philosophy or even a new place but it will remind you that aged cabs can be terrific fun. Structured enough for winter drinking but perfect with grilled meats and graceful enough to go a round with grilled chicken. A bargain still.

    August 12, 2015 - Grand larceny, wine 3. Mild, dusty tannin. Red fruit and herbs. Loads of wood. Back to my earlier experiences - a bit heavy-handed oak and simple. Yummy.

    August 12, 2015 - Grand larceny commemoration wine #2. Red fruit, subtle wood notes, but if spice. Essentially no tannin left. Pretty. Starting the downswing.

    June 12, 2015 - Medium red. Great resolved wine. Still shows some red fruit, cassis. Delicious and at it's peak.
