Very ripe blueberry, pyrazines, herbal, eucalyptus on the nose.
Not too much new oak detected, medium to high alcohol with hight viscosity with a long finish
Still young for a nine years old Cabernet Sauvignon

Pure flavor, seamless oak, best Napa Cab I've had in recent memory.

3 years since my last bottle and some time has transformed this wine from an impenetrable black beast in to a refined beauty. A eucalyptus nose like an older Montelena and a juicy Beyoncé backside.

2005 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Good fill, great cork. Perfect picture show sed. Vibrant color and nose. A modicum of richness up front initially but not to return. Medium body dropped down to light medium body. Thinning out meant slightly more acidity. That wasn't exactly undesirable. Currently tasting like a Napa version of LLC St. Julien (non-mountain terroir lean and mean). As it stands, will hold fast in this presentation for another 5 years. Not improving and feel it's goin' south after that 5-spot. 12.10.23.

待望のコングスガード・カベルネ2005。若いヴィンテージとは異なり、熟成して非常にシルキー。予想以上に美味かった!
