96 Points

Tuesday, December 15, 2020 - Zoom tasting with the wine group - Bordeaux vs. Cali Cabs (Zoom): Medium-deep ruby with age-appropriate bricking; aromatic, forest floor initially with strong core of black fruit, slight minerality, capsicum, slight menthol, all elegantly restrained on the nose but with presence; palate is medium-full bodied with black fruits, minerals, slight tertiary forest floor, medium-plus acidity and great freshness, medium-plus alcohol (14%) but holds it very well without any heat, fruit driven but with plenty of non-fruit complexity and always feels composed rather than showy; finish is medium-long. 95-96
Day 2: The last half-glass held up well, maybe even improved.
