Wonderful cabernet sauvignon with Pat’s Beef Stroganoff ($20) Still wonderful with Pat’s lasagna September 2022 — 2 years ago
Luscious, big Cab from WA. The tannins are well-tamped down with food. Spicy finish. Very nice indeed. — 4 years ago
Purple red, moderately extracted pigment. A tad tart, red currant nose, plum with some cherry and red currant in mouth, needs food. Light skin astringency on finish. No tobacco box notes, so a subdued Malbec. Previous vintages have been better, to my reckoning. Still, decent value for a table red. After 90 minutes some raspberry creeps into the flavor profile. Still a tad too tart. — 4 months ago
Tar, cedar, cigar, toasty notes and black currant on the nose. Wow that's intense. The palate is made of that superb blackcurrant note, a massive acid backbone, some nice width and a grainy, dusty mouthfeel that expands in mid palate with a drying layer of tannins that powers a very long finish with blackcurrant, these consistent toasty notes, that grain and a slightly bitter note that grows in the end. That's aristocratic, that's intense, that's beautiful and that's all that I like in Bordeaux. It was still a bit hard at first but opened up nicely after 2 hours. Could be even better after some more air. Still very young! — 2 years ago
We had the 3027 cab as part of corks path shipment from zeto. Love this one. Exactly the way we like our cabs, full but fresh and clean. Good palate. — 4 years ago
Nose of sour cherry, black currant, tar, a bit of meat juice, some green pepper bell touches and black pepper. The palate is very savory, a good acid drive, yet not very fully felt as it comes with a good width, some cherry and currant touches, a saline, meaty touch, a spherical mid palate that powers up a nice and savory finish with meat juice, cherry and currant and that tiny salty touch. About 10 eur in a (very well sourced) supermarket here in Arès, Gironde. Great stuff and super value — 4 months ago
The 2018 is drinking very well. The 2019 need another year because the sauvignon blanc over powers. And it still retains a mild spritz. Neither vintage is "classic" representation of a Graves. But the 2018 is very enjoyable and easy to drink. Low alcohol. Fair price for quality. — 3 years ago
