2021 Kinsman Eades Cabernet Sauvignon Hierothesion

Nigel does it again. The Dude is on a STREAK!
This is a fantastic wine.
My second KE, the first being a 2016 Rhad that I still get fired up thinking about. Need to start ripping some more corks because life's short so why the F not...
95 now with two hour decant, with upside a bit down the road...

2020 Memento Mori Cabernet Sauvignon
4/26/2024 - blarmston Likes this wine: 94 Points
Similar experience to 13 months ago.
While this is a very tasty wine, it does not meet the level of all the other MM's that I've had over the years.
Normally I would be bummed that I only have one remaining bottle of any wine, but in this case, I'm just happy to have more of the other vintages.
94 steady, and I think if you have some, to start ripping corks because I cant see it really gaining much by waiting. The 2020 vintage is an early drinker fo sho.

2016 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Yountville
3/5/2024 - blarmston Likes this wine: 92 Points
This is a solid wine, and this bottle showed much better than the one I drank 4 years ago.
It is fruit forward (and the dark black fruits are delicious), but there was a building mid palate and structure this time around that suggests that this simply needed a bit more time to develop in bottle.
Not a fruit bomb at all, with enough structure to keep me wanting to go back for another glass (I would have, but the wifey was eyeballing me to ensure I didn't take down the whole bottle. So... left a glass or two for tonight).
Would buy again if found at a decent price...
