Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 - Weird.....my first of the '18 vintage.

Decanted 2.5 hours and back into the bottle to take to dinner at HMCs. 92-93 to start. Enjoyed over another 4 hours of slow ox. This is chalky, cloudy opaque magenta in the glass. It stays cloudy the entire night. Nose of great florals, sweet dark red fruit.

Palate of classic Napa cab fruit. Depth and complexity here but also at the same time, kinda plain, too. It's good, being a 93-94 but that's it. Plummy fruit which stays cloudy and chalky all night. Really doesn't move much. Feels like it could be better.....should be better. But never really gets there.
