Chateau St. Jean
Cinq Cépages Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
Tasted blind. One of the surprises of the night, fully mature, nice plummy notes, tobacco, leather, little bit of spice. Yum.

Oct 3rd, 20131995 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Used a Durand and cork in really good shape. Mix of chunky and powdery sed. Light-medium body. Shed nearly the entirety of the cloaked and oaked juice. Earth. Dust. Minerals. A harmonious leanness to the entire adventure. Can easily hold in this place for a half-decade. 5.24.24.
