Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 12, 2022 - Holy shit. Dark ruby, zero bricking. Medium bodied with enough acid left to balance the matured red/black fruits. Absolutely classic high-end California cab, but not a fruit bomb by any means. Sweetish edge and soft but still lovely tannins. Nose of black cherry, cassis, some black olives. Probably 40 second finish, with the acids still pinging back of tongue. I almost opened my last '95 of the same stuff, but with some giant 100 day dry aged Jack's Creek Aussie wagyu from Swagyu Chop Shop (astounding quality), I wanted something less soft. These notes from 30 min decant and it keeps getting better. Delicious. Next bottle tonight is 2005 Bond St. Eden. Life Does Not Suck.

Note: After 2 hours in decant, the fruit fell away, leaving a nice, but somewhat thin wine. One hour is the right decant time.
