  Trying to clean up these ‘17’s so this was a late lineup after the Valentine’s Day champagne. Appropriately so, as this was fruity and chocolatey and felt like a treat. Reminded me that I haven’t had a Dr C in awhile and there is a reason I used to splurge for these. As for the vintage, most of the 17s I have seem to have improved over time and lost that manipulated feeling. They are big and bright and somewhat hedonistic and that’s ok for the right occasion.

  Agree with others sentiments on this one right now. A good wine but far below other vintages of the same.

  Pulled this cork with a Beef Wellington and Hasselback Potato Gratin. This wine could age a decade, but it does not need to. I decanted for about one hour and was delighted at the results. The wine is interestingly soft on the palate for a Cali Cab, meaty overtones, with mineral finish.

  I can’t say that I loved this as much as the bottle I had last year, but it was still a very nice wine. Lots of red and blue fruit, long finish, with a hint of rubber tire.

  It just seems to lack the structure I would need to give this a higher score. Maybe I just don't get these wines, but for the price, I expect much more. It was opened, but not decanted for over an hour before pouring. I brought this to a dinner with my wine group. In all fairness, everyone else liked it much more than I did.
