Community Tasting Note

ikkaariainen Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 - Drinking superbly and highly recommend. Our 1st BV GDL PR. Drank at our wine club tasting that Kim & I hosted 7/19/22 in Hickory NC at restaurant BOCA in a flight with 3 other '94 CA cabernet dominant wines. Drink or hold - fully mature so no further upside to cellaring but on the other hand with proper cellaring this still has a few years to go at the top. We recently obtained this bottle as part of a much larger cellar contents purchase. Dark purple, peripheral bricking present, fully integrated, soft mouth feel, medium - full bodied, well integrated oak & soft tannins present and with a lovely lingering aftertaste. Nose soft, dark and complex with dark fruit, kirsch, cedar, lilac and the famed Rutherford dust. Flavor profile of controlled oak up front with soft tannins present through out with dark stone fruit and cassis followed by more secondary flavors of cedar, leather, graphite and smoke.
