Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 21, 2012 - At home with ex-Nobu chef Tom Bascon: Came after Jadot Clos St Jacques '90 and Palmer '83...Opened for 4 hours before first pour. Color was deep, opaque crimson. Nose was classic Napa notes - black fruit and vanilla. First sip confirmed the bigness of the wine despite its being close to 20 years. Some oakiness peeps out. Grippy and long. Still somewhat lacking in integration but all of the elements are there and I expect this to come together soon and when it does, this should come close to outstanding. This is classic Napa Cab and not pretending to be anything else. Delicious nevertheless.
