This comes as close to perfect for me as possible. Rich, extremely concentrated fruit and oak flavors of vanilla and toast mixed with savory cloves and tobacco and faint hints (smell) of menthol - but nothing is overpowering. The tannins are silky smooth and luscious - I love this wine. (Tasting notes 3/7 - 1.5 hour decant).

For an off vintage and a steal at del Friscos - this wine was juicy and delicious. Good find. Too bad they only had 1.

Pre-turkey VHR cab sets the bar for the upcoming meal. Black Cherry, a little raspberry, mixed with leather and faint taste of toasted oak. @Bruce Phillips never disappoints. Happy Thanksgiving, all! We have many things to be thankful for— I am thankful for all of you. Enjoy the day!

Really lovely for a 2011. Gorgeous dark fruit and cocoa. Luxurious, velvety tannins.
