  Last call. Held up well (temp-controlled).
  Not much of a departure from the 2020 tasting other than a very brittle cork and sediment. This was one to remember.

  What a Rutherford should taste like.
  Deep color, with a deep taste.
  Just superb.

  Last bottle. Singing right now. Definitely at a sweet spot. Probably had another 2-3 years left in it but it kept staring at me so I bit. Tannins have softened which has helped create a silky cornucopia of dark brambly black fruit. Nice long finish. This wine has delivered over the past 5 years. Drink or hold for a limited time.

  Wow, this was just another great wine. A solid 90 pointer. Love it when patience pays off like this. This wine went from 86 to 90 Points. Don't think I've had any wine improve like that ever.
  
  This wine was a dark brick-red with a nice dark, rich aroma of dark fruit and oak. This was 14.8% wine, but there was no hint of heat at all. The taste was very nice, it's best aspect. It was nice and savory, dark fruit, great mouth feel and a nice long finish.
  
  As mentioned earlier, this was the Very Last bottle that WTSO had in stock. Long live this wine and vintage!

  This was pretty damn good. Dark rich red color. An aroma that is amazing, terrific actually, with tons of Rutherford Dust! This was amazing. The taste was very close to the aroma. But still really, really good. It had amazing Minerality and Tannins that are the Dust! WOW!
  
  This would be a full 90+ Pointer and a Great QPR. Moved to Superb as well. Amazing how time in the bottle has so helped this one! Patience is rewarded!
  
  Not sure if WTSO has any of this, or any vintage, available. I WILL be checking... soon!
