  AMAZING WINE!!! Seductive nose. Explosive palate. So enticing and difficult to lay down. I honestly hope I continue to pick up Absurds here and there so as to never run out. The absolute BEST, and the most absurdly delicious bottle of wine I have ever had!

  Though not as good as the '12 (my humble opinion), this is a very nice wine with many years left.

  100 POINT Cult Wine.
  
  Inky in color with a short purple rim.
  
  Strong nose of blackberries, sweet plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper. Very dense.
  
  Full bodied, big and bold, with medium acidity and long legs.
  
  Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, espresso, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, light herbs, light alcohol and peppercorn.
  
  Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
  
  This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Showing great complexity with a great mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, Rich and extracted.
  
  Robert Parker 100 points.
  
  This 9 year old is still young, but already drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years.
  
  Good right out of the bottle, and much better after 3 hours of airtime.
  
  Complex, and easy to drink. Just wonderful. A good sipping wine that doesn't need food, but will also pair very nicely with a big piece of steak.
  
  A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. A small production of only 3,000 bottles.
  
  14.6% alcohol by volume.
  
  96 points.
  
  $1,000.

  Decanted one hour and then drank over 2 hours. Notes of chocolate, dark berries, earthy. Velvety smooth. One of my favorites.
