Wow. This bottle is really something. Not sure where I got it from (didn't record the details in the database)...but it is drinking very well. Solid backbone...sufficient fruits...and a bit of heat still evident (but not excessively so). The wine has a very full taste to it.
CT is publishing a "drinking window" of 2013-18. I think this could go a few years further.

Tasting notes consistent with my 8/2013 notes, though this bottle seemed a little less ebullient than past tastings. My palate might have been off this night, so I'm not ready to say yet if it is in decline. Perhaps it's just entering a "dumb" phase. After an hour of air it was much more open and seemed to be more like previous tastings. Still a great wine, hoping it emerges from this phase and returns to its glory.

I have really enjoyed Scribe wines. Under the radar. I have never seen it served in a restaurant or cafe. This is deep, rich, while soft on the backside.

Wow. Phenomenal. Let decant for almost four hours. Last of five bottles. All were great and this was the best. Rich, brooding, classic cab! ????
