  September 10, 2019 - deep garnet color; wet brambles with dank blackberry, hint of peppery cinnamon and clove in the nose; moderate tannis blend well with the blackberry jam, black raspberry and coconut milk taste. Strong white pepper black currant ganache in a long finish. Plenty of fruit but nearing its peak.

  April 14, 2018 - Nice wine drinking well. Has aged quite well and has lots of life left. Lots of sentiment so decant. Very good QPR. 89--90. Was a hit at the get together and the bottle emptied very fast. Burgess cabs seem to age very well.

  January 20, 2018 - Opened this evening as it was approaching the suggested end of prime drinking window, and I've had this in the cellar for a couple of years. Nice burgundy color with a slight orangish tint around the edge; certainly not as dark as other 12-year Cabernets. Distinct sawdust odor overwhelms secondary scents of blackberries and spice. Enjoyable first taste of berries, cassis, earth, and vanilla but declines significantly mid-palate. Overall it's a good Cabernet but nothing spectacular from Burgess, at least for this vintage.
