5/16/2024 - ChrisinCowiche wrote: 91 pointsSolid and still long life ahead. Dark and brooding until it opened up after about an hour. Dense black and blue fruits, heavy weight, and fully integrated tannins. Give it plenty of air, and on hindsight this would be a good candidate for a Vinturi or other aeration device. |

5/13/2024 - ChrisinCowiche wrote: 94 pointsComplete, delicious, high yum factor. Fantastic bouquet of cassis and violet, medium body, with coating mouthfeel and smooth, smooth finish. Tannins are still prominent but not offensive. This wine has stuffing to last decades, wish I has more. But very glad to drink and savor this one now. Paired with smoked tri-tip and garlic potatoes and carrots. Really singing. |

4/8/2024 - ChrisinCowiche wrote: 88 pointsToo young, and I hope it comes around, but this was not an impressive wine. A bit hollow in the middle and not much going on anywhere else on the palate either. I'm hesitant to score, but I did assign where I see it now. Can only improve with time... I hope. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |
