  Kleur: Diep donkerrood. Aroma / bouquet: Verleidelijk bouquet met een subtiele hint van rozenblaadjes, rood fruit en marsepein. Smaak / Afdronk: Verleidelijk in de neus, in de mond vooral stoer en - na 12 jaar - zelfs wat hoekig. Serieuze, iets drogende, tannines met een uitgesproken bittertje. Op zichzelf mooie eigenschappen voor een wijn zoals Barolo, maar bij een Napa-Cab van 12 jaar oud maak ik me zorgen. Disbalans tussen geur en smaak.... Algemeen / potentieel: Stoere 'tweede Promontory', maar met een beperkte complexiteit en - na 12 jaar - iets te veel hoekigheid... En jazeker, die conclusie trok ik ook bij de gisteren geproefde 2013 Matriarch ;-).
  Niet eens met mijn bevindingen? Ik leer graag…. Reacties welkom. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 15 + Algemeen / potentieel: 8 = 90/100
  
  Colour: Deep dark red. Aroma / bouquet: Seductive bouquet with a subtle hint of rose petals, red fruit and marzipan. Taste / Aftertaste: Seductive in the nose, in the mouth especially sturdy and - after 12 years - even somewhat angular. Serious, slightly drying tannins with a pronounced bitterness. In itself nice qualities for a wine such as Barolo, but for a Napa Cab of 12 years old I'm worried. Imbalance between smell and taste.... General / potential: Tough 'second Promontory', but with limited complexity and - after 12 years - a bit too much angularity... And Yes, I also came to that conclusion with the 2013 Matriarch I tasted yesterday ;-).
  Disagree with my findings? I like to learn…. Comments welcome. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Aftertaste: 15 + General / potential: 8 = 90/100

  A bit jammy, not precise.

  Beautiful wine. Over the 90 minutes, deep dark opaque red wine flashed dark chocolate, dark fruits, pencil lead and graphite notes. Lasting 30-45 second finish

  Classic Napa but not over-done or over-ripe. This could still use 3-5 years as the tannins were pervasive although fine grained.
