#AgedWineTuesday Dark ruby in color with a reddish/ brick rim. Nose of blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, cola, vanilla, spices, espresso, light herbs, dark chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, light alcohol and leather. Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs. Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black plums, figs, tobacco, cedar, leather, vanilla, licorice, spices, herbs, coffee, chocolates and peppercorn. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries. This is a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Well balanced with a great mouthfeel. Complex and interesting. Elegant, rich and fruit forward. This 14 year old is drinking very nicely right out of the bottle, and better with air. Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter, and bring in nice structure. Thank you Scott for sharing this with me. Does not drink like a 14 year old at all, and feels much younger. Will continue to age nicely in the next few years. Feels like it is nearing its peak. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years. Good by itself or with food. A great sipping wine to have with good friends. This is a gorgeous wine. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (85% new) French oak barrels for 16 months. 15.2% alcohol by volume. 94 points. $225.

At this point, I’ve got a woody… Best red of the night by a mile. Another screaming example from David and Kristen.

Amazingly complex, firm, dense and concentrated, with a vivid, lively, structured mix of dried currant, mineral, cedar, sage and tobacco notes. Fills out nicely on the finish and holds its focus, ending with a satisfyingly chewy, rich bundle of dark berry fruit.

Very plush and open. A hammy burst of ripe blackcurrant fruit. A little lacking in definition but pleasant

Juicy dark fruits and chewy tannins. Quite balanced for a wine of this size. 94+pts.

Very concentrated, oak and raisins coming through... Might resolve in the future but for now seems a bit disjointed
