Community Tasting Notes 21

  February 20, 2021 - Senior wine, its showing secondary and terciary aromas. Tannins have softenned inmensly, it’s smooth and easy to drink. Its earthy, dark red fruit, minerals and spices. Its drinking beautifully, but its about ready to start hitting the slope to go down. It will not get better.

  January 5, 2019 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* Reds] from 01/04/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): José, I'm *particularly GRATEFUL as this is so close in age to the '91 tasted last wk! :)
  
  Part of a collection of dubious storage
  
  N: FRAGRANT, [naturally] oxygenated aromas, but COULDN'T parse
  
  P: LM body; NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which only somewhat resolves as transitions into a LONG, very, VERY slightly spicy finish with a TANGY/swtness to the decidedly inoffensive dusty tanning. My EXC/EXC+. For now & likely making its 30th.
  
  Note: 2 more experienced tasters than I felt this was further advanced than they might have expected.

  February 19, 2018 - Fantastic nose of mature black currant, sweet oak, mint and spice! Medium-bodied, this is now silky smooth and probably toward the end of it's aging curve, but oh-so delicious! A slight hint of smoke and minerals adds definition and interest to the palate. Absolutely delicious, wish I had another! This is still so fresh and alive! Bravo. 92 df 9.3

  September 5, 2016 - Firm, fruit forward, dark and brooding. A cab built to last!

  February 9, 2013 - The cork crumbled when I opened it. However the bottom was dry. I had to push the rest of the cork into the bottle and then strained it into a decanter. Although it was good, I think 20 years was a little too long to wait. It certainly improved with decanting.
