From memory so no detailed notes. A voluptuous vanilla and plum driven wine. A great wine with steak — not as interesting on its own. Not hot but definitely heavy. Score: 91. Relative to expectations: +

Either our palates have changed all of a sudden or this wine has entered a dumb phase or worse. Again, no off flavors and a good nose, but missing something major mid-palate. Acid is there, tannins are smooth, but it’s just lacking something.

For some reason this bottle just didn’t have it. Rather bland on the palate. Nothing wrong per se but just lacking the oomph of previous experiences with the same wine. Will have to try again.

Very good. Ready to drink. But missing the wow factor.

Frey's Cat Ranch (Somewhere in the Northern Burbs, MN): Very dark red color. PNP, small taste. Ripe, primary, cherry, blackberry, vanilla, fruit forward, simple. 88+ to 89pts.
