May 23, 2022 - Whites by more famous Red makers.....& vice versa. (Grill Room, Hong Kong Country Club, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Briefly decanted. Almost totally opaque deep ruby red. Nose is really lovely classic Cab Sav blackberry but with the green leaves. Palate is tart, tannic but perfectly fruited blackberry fruit. It is just so primary and so young… but gorgeous. Nice length . Come back in 5-10 years. 91-92 for now but should improve. Thanks as always, Daniel!

September 1, 2019 - From a bottle purchased upon release and cellared in pristine fashion, this wine was double-decanted, allowing approximately two hours in decanter prior to funneling back into the cleaned bottle. It was then taken to a walk-around wine and food party, where it was serially sampled over an additional two hours. Medium garnet in color, this 27-year-old Napa Cab still has a beautiful core of red cherry fruit that is garnished with complex notes of leather, allspice, cocoa, earth and cigar box. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic and with fully resolved tannins, it stays plump on the middle palate and throws no heat from its 13.5% alcohol. Finishing long and silky smooth, this is a testament to the quality of the producer as well as to the overall quality of the '92 vintage in the Napa Valley. Comparably cellared bottles should reach their 30th birthday with grace. Drink now-2022.
