Community Tasting Notes 5

• Charlie C Likes this wine: 93 points

  January 5, 2021 - This has held up beautifully. Rich black cherry nose. Deep, rich dark fruits on the palate, black cherries, raspberries, bit of cocoa. Fine tannins, great acidity and balance. Fruit is lush and coats the palate. Finishes very long and subtle with dark fruits. At peak and lovely. Should hold for 3 to 4 years. Under screw cap. 53% Cabernet Sauvignon; 18% Cab Franc; 16% Merlot; 8% Petite Verdot; 5% Malbec.

  July 7, 2010 - Today this wine showed quite well; no decant, fine structure; fruit has matured, no elegance, but no oak nor heat, either; stands up to food quite well; in a blind tasting would def. be pegged as old world; syrah-like pepper, but no syrah in the blend

  March 16, 2010 - One of the best things I did was stop buying these wines: too soft and nondescript, vanilla notes; most drinkable when they're v. young and have some grip

  June 10, 2009 - Better than the last bottle! This had more substance and depth and less vanilla. Quite enjoyable.

  May 29, 2009 - If only this tasted as good as it smelled... V. complex and old-world on the nose, but then flattens out and becomes soft and dull; dominated by vanilla and plum; drink up. If anybody in L.A. wants to buy or trade for three of these... I swear this bottling used to be leaner and more interesting
