This bottle was an excellent Cab Sav...it could’ve sat for several more years with no problem. I wished I had waited two more years to allow it to more mature mouthfeel...smooth but cleansing on the finish, leaving you wanting more.

Feb 25th, 2021Sorry, but I was in a hurry, and I didn’t write down any notes on this wine — except that I gave it a 9.6. Which means it was very good by my finicky standards. As I recall, it had a coniferous overtone — on the nose and on the mid to late palate. But its smooth tannic structure reduced all of those resinous pine notes downward to the downwind scent of a pine forest a mile or so away.
