January 2, 2024 - Drank over 2 days with 2 hours slo-ox to start. Enjoyable, big & bold classic QC cab; expected more. Black raspberry, black currants, plum, burnt toast. RP 100 maybe for Washington, but doesn't come close to the best out of Napa. 94+

December 27, 2023 - Kleur: Diep donkerrood. Aroma / bouquet: Weelderig bouquet, ook al direct na het openen. Vitaal, krachtig en opvallend jeugdig en fruitgedreven. Cassis, zwarte bessen. Stoer en robuust maar ook met aardse tonen. Leer. Smaak / Afdronk: Wow. Krachtige en stoere wijn. Aangename frisse zuurgraad, stoere tannines met een uitgesproken maar aangename bittertoon. En bij deze vulling draagt het zoetje (serieus alcoholisch!, 15,2%) bij aan de balans. Retronasaal vooral tonen van laurier, leer en Mon Cherie (pure chocola en geconfijte kers). Algemeen / potentieel: In deze fase prachtig drinkbaar, maar meer als 'eetwijn' dan als 'openhaardwijn'. Een wijn met een lange toekomst voor zich! 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Smaak / Afdronk: 19 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 97/100
Colour: Deep dark red. Aroma / bouquet: Lush bouquet, even immediately after opening. Vital, powerful and remarkably youthful and fruit-driven. Cassis, blackcurrants. Tough and robust but with earthy tones too. Lether. Taste / Aftertaste: Wow. Powerful and sturdy wine. Pleasant fresh acidity, sturdy tannins with a pronounced but pleasant bitter note. And with this filling, the sweetness (seriously alcoholic!, 15.2%) contributes to the balance. Retronasal mainly notes of laurel, leather and Mon Cherie (dark chocolate and candied cherry). General / potential: Beautifully drinkable at this stage, but more as a 'food wine' than as a 'fireplace wine'. A wine with a long future ahead of it! 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 14 + Taste / Aftertaste: 19 + General / potential: 9 = 97/1004 people found this helpful Comment
