Looks like I was petty drunk here. Still the best CF ever. — 2 days ago

Hmm. 🤔 wasn’t able to connect with this, expectingly great wine. Actually first direct out of the bottle it was promising. Strong oak notes with vibrant dark red fruit underneath it. But over the next hour, the oak flavors started to be integrated more but the acidity became very prominent and made the wine rather single note, diluted, lacking depth, acidic tasting. So needless to say. Disappointing experience. Maybe it was not the right day 🤔. — 5 days ago

Great structure and so balanced 🤤 Dark fruit with hints of leather and tobacco. Built to this crescendo in the finish. Incredible — 25 days ago

A masterpiece from the Antinori House. This starts of meaty and leathery with some rose petals and evolves to pure bliss with good strength. — 3 days ago

Opened the evening prior at 7pm and double-decanted; the bottle was left at room temp with the cork pressed lightly back into the neck until service. The 2000 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core and a slightly water rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous and showing some real power with a compelling combination of ripe and desiccated fruit: dark brambles, cassis, leather, dill, olives, spiced meat, tobacco and soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and whoa is it ever delicious. This has to be one of the wines of the vintage. Drink now through 2040. — 13 days ago

Great recommendation from the guy at the local wine shop.

45+ minute decant. Dark red color. Cigars, ash, dark red fruit, and some cedar on the nose. Medium plus depth and integrated finish. Paired nicely with burgers. — 8 days ago

Deep Inky in color with a short purple rim. Looks very young.

Soft nose of black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, light black pepper, earth, herbs and black tea.

Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 14 year old Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa feels very young. Rich and powerful. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Great right out of the bottle, and tightened up after 2 hours of in the decanter. Probably needed a longer decant, but it finished too quickly.

This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Wine Advocate 92 points.

Tasty and enjoyable by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak

Matthiasson’s Napa white is one of my favorite CA wines but don’t sleep on the red. Predominantly merlot Bdx blend, elegant and finessed, purple berries and cassis, violets, black tea, cedar and cocoa. Just entering peak drinking IMO — 2 days ago
