April 8, 2023 - Purchased direct from winery & cellared since. Brought to Becks in Augusta for dinner tonight. PNP & consumes over 2-5 hours. Not sure what to make of this. Not a lot on th nose or palate. Soft, velvety tannns. Good fruit but not much else. Somewhat disappointing unfortunately.
February 23, 2023 - same as previous notes, disappointed
January 17, 2023 - One of the things I’ve learned about drinking an older Quilceda is that they still can evolve in a positive way over the course of many hours. So be patient.
To begin I am stunned first by the rich color. If judging the age from color alone, no one is suggesting 15 years old. Nose is another thing all together. Definitely picking up some notes of cigar box, damp earth, and tea. On the palate it is an absolute beast in a good way. Great texture and overall balance excellent although early on tannin was formidable but not overwhelming. This wine is fresh with plenty of acidity as well. My concerns about tannin subsided as about 6-8 ounces saved in the re-corked bottle poured the next day revealed a wine with outstanding harmony and class. Nose continues to be the star and it’s purity really shines. Great wine! Wish I had more 07! Won’t be surprised to see notes over the next 10-15 years. 95+
December 7, 2022 - Delicious mature cab. Elegant fruit and loads is complex secondary flavors. Drank with pot roast. Love Q creek for consistently delicious bottles. Drink or hold.
November 16, 2022 - Nice fruit forward in the front end and very rich and expansive in the mid-palate. The finish was a little short for my taste
February 13, 2022 - Disappointed. Too much bottle variation with Quilceda, I think I'm done buying from them.
December 4, 2021 - Think this wine needs another year or two in the cellar
September 27, 2021 - Lots of cherry
September 6, 2021 - awesome. seamless, integrated, length and depth
August 19, 2021 - Decanted for an hour and enjoyed over the next several. There was eucalyptus and fruit on the nose. I got chocolate and cherry on the palate with a medium finish. Really nice now, but I believe there was enough tannins for the wine to go for the next several years.
