Wednesday, October 29, 2003 - disclaimer: i like cal-cabs, i drink cal-cabs, too bad that they cost too much, i don't care. that being said, was i really that stupid 3 years ago? well, i was probably that stupid 3 minutes ago. this wine got great reviews. RMP 91 and WS 94. i have to admit i bought wines from reviews back then, and i was obsessed with obtaining the 97 vintage. i eventually accummulated over 200 different 97 cal-cabs. flame on, i can take it.

14.1% alcohol, 84% cab, 9% merlot, 7% cab franc, $45.

no reason to open this except that i have a couple of bottles, and i was eating leftovers of a stupendous meal from last night that had cut-up steak in it. jesus, what did i have last night? can't even remember. totally brain dead.

this wine would make a silver oak seem like a vegan sandwich. this isn't a 2 x 4, it's a 2 x 8 stuck right up the can (with extra splinters). is there any fruit in there? i'll loan you my ax, be my guest, send me a report. virtually undrinkable. i set it aside and came back to it after an hour. more wood than raney at a linda lovelace film festival. parker says anticipated maturity 2000-2025. ok, i'll report on the next bottle in 22 years. stay tuned.
