Community Tasting Note

Odedis.Wine.reviews Likes this wine:

Tuesday, November 1, 2022 - Deep Inky in color with a short purple rim. This 12 year old is not showing age at all.

Fruity nose of black currants, blackberries, black plums, cooked cherries, raisins, dried fruits, cedar, licorice, earth, vanilla, light herbs, tobacco, chocolates, cola and black pepper.

Full-bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, cooked raisins, dried figs, tobacco, peppercorn, cedar, vanilla, leather, light earth, fennel, dark chocolates and spices.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

Showing great complexity with a smooth mouthfeel. Elegant and fruity. Rich and extracted, yet elegant.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and even better after 3 hours of airtime.

A great wine to pair with a nice piece of steak, but good by itself too, as a sipping wine.

Showing great balance between the fruits, acidity and tannins. High alcohol is well integrated by now, so watch out. I would love to try it next to the Insignia.

Robert Parker 95 points.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 7 to 10 years.

This 2010 was a great vintage in Napa and it is definitely showing.

A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. I love these Napa Bordeaux blends.

14.7% alcohol by volume.

96 points.

$150.
