Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 3, 2024 - This is smoking good California wine that defies my usual statement that California wines dont age well. When I find wines like this that open so beautiful and gain muscle and become even stronger over a long drinking afternoon, I revert back to the old saying that "even a broken clock is right twice a day". Its ambitious to attempt and duplicate Bordeaux from California, and while this one is still fruit laden and wears a Smoky the Bear hat, it has lots of Bordeaux trapped inside the bottle. The deep vibrant fruit is laced with scents of barnyard, tobacco, and bits of graphite. Nothing meaty, murky, or tired like the 05' Les Pavots I had a few nights ago, this is just a lustrous beautiful wine with Latour like power, Montrose like character, and Haut Brion like fruit. I think you get the point...If blind, 1990 Bordeaux. This is ready! Drink!!!!
