November 2, 2023 - "Off" Vintages from Elite Producers: (Petrus, Lafite, Margaux, etc) (Charlotte, NC): Decanted at 5:30am, put back in bottle 45 min later and refrigerated. Brought to dinner and popped the cork about 90 min prior to serving.
Rich nose of cassis and gentle floral notes. Great depth of flavor on the palate delivered with the deftness of a master winemaker – dark red and black fruits with hints of complexity just beginning to show. The rich flavors hit your palate with a gentleness you don’t expect from this reputationally “big” wine. Long, savory finish. A wonderful and approachable wine that complimented the more decidedly Old World lineup and very fitting in its quality. Is ‘Mr. Tin” actually a “value-wine” in the ultra-premium Napa market? Served properly, maybe so.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 17, 2023 - This was enjoyed by everyone at the table.
It was rich, mouth-coating monster (only in the very best sense) of a wine that was smooth and beautifully balanced (for such a powerful wine) and had a lovely long finish. -

December 25, 2022 - Spicy leathery nose. Initially well balanced with more fruit , spice and tannin than the Scarecrow 2011 becoming more tannic over time. Also a hint of age.

December 10, 2022 - Decanted for one hour. Nose of black cherry, currant, mocha, vanilla and spice. Black cherry liquor, mocha, spice and crushed rock on the palate. Dry finish with good length. Full bodied. Served with reverse seared picanha and a green peppercorn cream sauce.
