Community Tasting Note

O'Meara Likes this wine:

Sunday, December 31, 2023 - My first from a half case. New Year’s Eve. Vail. Upon the cork pull, it’s brooding and reserved. Drinkable and even gulpable, but there is clearly a lot hanging in reserve. It’s keeps on hitting new highs at every 30-minute interval in which I taste it. Four hours in, and this wine has revealed a good deal of its character. It’s slightly more red fruited than black fruited. It’s classical in nature and has cedar, graphite, and tobacco framing the Cabernet flavors, which have not of Pauillac green pepper…but not so much as to concern under-ripeness. Another 5-10 years will be rewarded…and instructive for the post-2010 Bdx fans. Drink or (better to) hold.
