Community Tasting Note
Odedis.Wine.reviews Likes this wine:
Friday, March 24, 2023 - This is a superb Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This 13 year old is drinking fabulously now. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Soft, smooth and elegant. Rich and fruit forward, with a very nice nose.
Nicely balanced and good by itself or with food. A great sipping wine.
Still has a lot in it, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
I've had this vintage a few times before, and it is always gorgeous.
Wine Spectator 92 points. Robert Parker 95 points.
Needs 3 hours in the decanter to open up properly.
Spicy and tangy. Ripe and entertaining. This is just fabulous.
A blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot.
14.7% alcohol by volume.
95 points.
$175.
