Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 2, 2012 - Blind tasting at JK & KK's place: Tasted double blind. Huge nose with herbal and floral notes, sweet green pepper, a touch of menthol, and almost jammy plummy fruit. Palate dripping with sweet fruit and solid vegetal/herbal notes, and a little plummy spice. Really smooth and integrated tannins. The finish is good and sweet, long but not too long. If this isn't Cali cab from the late 70's early-mid 80's I will eat my shoe. At first I though Silver Oak, but it doesn't have enough of that vanilla oak, so I went with Arjune's guess of Monte Bello - he guess 86, I guessed earlier 80-84. I don't know what others on CT were drinking, but this shit was good - best Cali Cab I've had in a long time. Nose - 6/6, Palate - 5.5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je Ne Sais Quoi - 2/2 = 18/20.
