This is firing on all cylinders. Balanced acidity Dark currant fruit and a deep voluptuous mouthfeel with a satisfying & lengthy finish echoing waves of earth, licorice root & mint.
Takes me back to Alex Golitzen’s better efforts from Quilceda Creek in its first 2 decades. Purchased at a close out price when Buty decided to close its door and sold off its library. Will include my last remaining bottle in a future blind tasting with other premium Cabernets.

Yes this wine deserves a BIG score on PTQ. Very well integrated and would pair with any grilled protein. Likely another 3-5 more years remain at peak.
