  7/4/2017 - WineTally Likes this wine:

  A half-century American Cab on the occasion of Independence Day 2017. Note the need to "wineducate" (on back label) at the time!
  
  A(ccuracy)=2: Low neck fill; moist intact cork; Med garnet with just slight brick/orange on rim; bottle must blown off quickly, ushering in lilting suggestion of crème de cassis; edged by truffle, fine herbs and leather in first hour; returning to plummy liqueur second hour on.
  B(alance)=3: Seamless silk.
  C(omplexity)=2: Fully integrated, just short of layered, tertiary essence.
  D(epth)=2: Velvety mouthfeel; ethereal length; lingering finish.
  
  Wine Tally Score [2,3,2,2] = 9/10
  
  And this was just BV's "regular" Napa Cab. There were still The Rutherford, and George de la Tour Private Reserve...
