The one thing I get from this wine w/ this age is cognac notes and the 07 is just starting cognac notes on the long set. Still, rounded, medium plus, velvety tannins.

The fruits are ripe, juicy, lush; blackberries, black raspberries, black plum skin, darkest cherries, & red cherries on the long set, strawberry hues. Chocolate/ cake/pudding/mousse, dark berry cola, mocha, dark chocolate, caramel, dark spice, nutmeg, clove, vanilla, anise core to black licorice, dark spice w/ palate heat, dry, crush rock, limestone powder, dry top soil, dry twig, liquid, dry herbaceous notes, fresh to withering; dark, red, slightly blue flowers framed in a field of violets & lavender, round, summer rainfall with a softly tensioned state, tall structure, well balanced, finely but deeply knitted & evenly polish finish that is nearly endless.

If you can have patience, Tapestry is one of the best Napa Cabernet for the money & this one has plenty of life ahead. 10 plus years.

Another Treasury Employee Store find for $8. Excellent price/value bottle of wine. I wish you could find this kind of wine on restaurant wine lists for their low end offerings. — 6 months ago

Really like this! Not sweet, it’s crisp and refreshing. Had with Christmas dinner this year 2023- great with cheeses. It’s a great go-to. And it’s under $15 — 7 months ago

1970 | Cabernet Sauvignon

Napa Valley; California, USA
(95-97; Drink 2025-40+)
3h decant

Nose has ripe cherry, cedar++, charcoal, grilled black cherry, faint olive and over-ripe blackberry.
Palate has dried cherry/blackberry, tobacco, strawberry, vanilla, dried mint, leather with medium+ tannins and plenty of acidity to hold for decades.

Epic, even besting the 1968 & 1995 for my palate!

Happy Father's Day 2024 to all. — a month ago
