Whoa, a bargain baby. Although it shows some edges, time will tell how they resolve. A touch of VA on the nose took a sec to blow off, then it screamed of red fruit and smoldering tar. The tar thankfully went from smoldering to sparking off here and there, but then the earth, wow, this is earthy, but still, the fruit dominates. The palate nails the Nebbiolo high amounts of everything (acid, alcohol, tannins structure). But the tannins play fairly, a highlight accessory, not a scene stealer. The tannic grip hangs on but in tandem with fruit and soil into which rose petals may have fallen last spring. I can’t believe the price on this bebe. — a month ago

Woke up after one hour. Powerful aroma with oak, black currant and other fruits. Earthy, fallen leaves flavor which were initially found was surpassed by vanilla and concentration. Spicy and dry. Traditional. 2001 @1280, domaine XH, 210821 — 3 years ago

Drank in 2020. Still lots of body, fruit and was very smooth as lots of tannins had fallen out. Brickish brown hue, long finish, pleasant palate. — 4 years ago

Matured taste. Still has acidity. Complexity. Fallen leaves. 2010 @2564, xiaduo -, 220927-221007 — 2 years ago

Young, but accessible. Gun flint nose is instantly seductive descending like smoke onto brioche and twists of impossibly minute lemon peel, lime and tangerine piths, underripe pineapple freshness, Marcona almond, toasted sesame, chalky chunks have absorbed the smoke, and fallen citrus celebrates its rebirth. Lemon pith that oozes lemon skin oils like dewdrop diamonds. Incredible minerality that crystallizes into spines of grapefruit, dandelion, dried gooseberry, and marigold. Shiny, bright, crystal clean, and revelatory. Amazing compilation of parts that remains suspended like a chandelier in ethereal weightlessness.

Really plush tannins. Stewed prunes and dark red berries, dried thyme, damp soil and fallen branches, some citrus rind. From Town Center Wines, Eastham. — 5 years ago

Raspberry, fallen leaves, rain water. Lovely balance, but this bottle seemed a bit over the hill — 3 years ago

Trader Joe’s sign led me right: this went great with chili! It was full and spicy but not too tannic to have with dinner. — 3 years ago

At 10.5yrs old, this private label WF cab is, well, straight forward and touch underwhelming. The fruit is clean and does trend toward WA state pedigree, but the power and tannic resolve have fallen short by the order of one magnitude. Very pleasant nevertheless…and completely fine for Tuesday burgers ;) — 4 years ago
