Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, May 4, 2022 - Tasted blind. Not decanted and none necessary, but feel free to go for up to 1h. Fruit forward bouquet showing refined red cherry and blueberries, dry earth, mineral notes of ash and pencil shavings. There is also a nice spicy touch. But that is only the first impression. Quickly you’ll also discover fine aging notes of tobacco and plenty of cigar box notes. Amazing tension, soft texture thanks to velvety, perfectly integrated tannin. But make no mistake, there is a bold and commanding stature that shines through a finish that goes on and on. With aeration this later added an elements of eucalyptus and menthol with the latter becoming more and more pronounced. All the while, the fruit remains immensely fresh and sweet. One of the best aged Napa cabs I’ve had to date, easily competing with Dominus and maybe even surpassing the Dominus of the same vintage.
