2003 Young Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Premium Estate
4/28/2024 - kend707 Likes this wine: 93 Points
Surprised it is 21 years old and no one has reviewed it. Perhaps the entire vintage went into library stock, which is where I purchased it. After three hours of decanting the nose is just a faint cherry aroma. The real delight is in the palate. Heavy black fruit flavors are enveloped in fine tannins. Not a fruit bomb, but truly full bodied and luscious. A bit tannic on the finish which tells me this wine has several more years of prime drinking.

Wow, this wine is so close to being over the top that you have to stop and categorize all the attributes of this wine. The fruit is huge cherry and plum. Tannins are abundant but well integrated. Nose is from another planet; one can smell it three feet from the glass. The finish is beyond long, with a slight pepper tinge. Folks should be talking about this offering. I'm buying more tonight! This wine has a long life ahead of it. Was decanted three hours. I may decant longer next time.

An easy 94 pointer. Loads of fruit and some hint of white pepper on the finish.
