  Fairly full bodied and fruit driven. Had a somewhat bitter and chalklike finish. A good wine but was bested by 2016 Col Solare tonight.

  A very special bottle, only about 20 cases produced. Very nice, classic well-balanced EMH cab. Excellent.

  Perhaps a conservative score. One of the best Black Cats in a long time, up with the 2009 SS. Gorgeous classy Cab nose of cassis cherry and tobacco. Med+ richness and loads of red fruit. Long tart peppery finish with fine balance. Still some tannins - 5+ more years would be a good idea. Excellent modern Napa wine but with traditional balance. Kind of amazing for a ‘14, not the best of vintages. Go Dubs!

  Gave it two hours in the decanter and drank it over another three. No detailed notes, but this might be my favorite EMH wine, just beating out the ‘09 Black Cat. More full bodied than other EMH cabs, and yet still in the signature style. Excellent.
