Community Tasting Note

seekingbalance Likes this wine:

Tuesday, February 21, 2023 - Initially consumed without food.

Reasonably dark purple, but not opaque. Nice nose with dark fruits, some spices, not terribly "hot" alcoholic. Good acidity (still) and some minerality. Stewed plums or even prunes? Very fine, but mature tannin persists.

I believe this has another decade - while the fruit may fade, the earth and complexity seems set to increase and there is sufficient tannin and acid to give it a shot.

Based on what you like drink now (2023) through 2030, based, of course, on the quality of your cellar.

Adder: after being open (but refrigerated) for another 36 hours, this wine continued to improve, and absolutely outclassed another,slightly cheaper, well known cab (which will remain anonymous for now)
