Total winner. Still tannic minty and earthy with a backbone of big fruit. — 3 hours ago

@Eric S : I had the 2011 a couple years ago and thought it was great. I really like the 2011 vintage in all the Saxum offerings. Bummer it didn’t hold up.

Hit or miss wine for me. More miss then hits. Overrated and overpriced... IMO

Eric S

My first time having AO. Don’t disagree. Definitely not up to the level of the others in the room.

@Eric S @David L - it’s a baby so would not open until 5 years plus - 17 will be even tighter imo

Cadence

Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Eric S

8.3

Hoping this was an off bottle bc this was total caca. Watery stewed tomatoes and prunes. Two Coravin glasses over two nights with plenty of air. Vinous said this might go to sleep in the bottle so maybe that’s it. — a day ago
