Sadly let this sit too long. Overly aged but not terrible. Definitely reason notes and fuller body. Would be interested to try again and drink younger… — 2 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.3

Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits and baking spice, sourced from several vineyards, the wine was aged for 15 months in 55% new and 45% 2-3 year French Oak. On the palate flavors of strawberry and ripe plum with vanilla, baking spice, lively acidity and fine tannins. Long finish, nice mouthfeel, ending with warming cedar spice character. — 6 months ago

1 hour decant(lots chunky/fine sediment). A gorgeous inky purplish garnet color. On the nose: dark fruit, forest floor, smoked meat, floral, cigar wrapper, pencil lead. Taste: smooth, rich, creamy mouthcoating wine with blackberry/dark cherry, dark chocolate, earth, tobacco, baking spice, and a cedar/graphite medium plus finish with some slight dusty tannins. Had this 2 years ago, and it's improved. In the beginning of its drink window at 18 years? Wow — 25 days ago

21 años y muy vivo, elegante, post gusto super persistente un clásico de Joseph Phelps. En la nariz tipica de cabernet de ellos, un toque leve de menta, fruta roja, suelo. El postgusto fue poniéndose mas intenso mientras iba abriendo... Vino sin defectos, bien hecho. — a month ago
