  July 5, 2022 - 93 points. This beautifully aged cab really worth the wait. Drank like an $80-$100 bottle of wine. Still fruit driven but with lots of aged qualities.

  July 2, 2020 - Very dark in color, with dark fruit on the nose and sour cherries and cooked fruit on the palate, raisin, red currant, and cassis.

  August 3, 2019 - Very fruit forward and dense and tannic at the moment with a bit too much Oak for me with alcohol showing as well. It could get better in time once this settles down, which might take a few more years.

  July 23, 2018 - Here we are in July 2018 and at current count this Justin Cab has 236 tasting notes on CT so there's not much more to be said. A celler find after 6 years on hand, I'd rate it an 87 to 89 currently and can confirm that the nose still has violet notes and that the fruit isn't all gone yet. Certainly there was some percentage of Syrah blended in which seems to have moved up to equal the Cabernet Sauvignon profile (or the Cab profile has declined to meet.) A rather linear mid-palate with dark fruit and a bit tight and peppery on the finish which is not long.
  
  Since this Cab is currently pretending to be a Syrah, you might as well drink a real Syrah for less money if you haven't bought this Cab already -- check out my Tasting Note on the 2014 Klinker Brick Farráh Syrah which I think is a steal at the price ($12-$18 on discount).
