1996 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Plenty of sediment. Chunky nose with translated into the early flavor profile but lessened with time. Decent focus and concentration. Some grip but enough dark fruit remaining to mitigate the tannins successfully. Not improving but can hold steady in this range for another 5 or so years. Not super complex yet solid enough for vintage BDX to seek out without compromising the 401k/Roth IRA. 11.9.23. — 2 years ago
Good Cab. Paired well with smoked chuck roast. Paired even better with dark chocolate — 4 years ago
Big bold Cabernet from Alexander Valley. Dark purple in color. Nice fingers. Earthy. Nice tannin structure. Black cherry and leather. Very nice. — 5 months ago
Deep ruby to purple in color; black cherries, graphite, and cassis on the nose; medium acidity; high tannins; tastes like blackberries, black plums, and baking spices with a long finish. Nellie likes it. Jason loves it. I love it too. It's very well balanced. A really good wine. — 2 years ago
Big fruit forward then a dusty dark fruit in the middle. Then a quick dusty finish. — 3 years ago
