Colour is very pale with just the lightest hint of coral pink. It’s off-dry with lots of ripe tropical fruits on the noise and palate - cantaloupe, peach, and a hint of floral. It’s a very interesting blend of grapes. — 2 months ago

Our New Year’s Eve wine is 2005 Kapcsandy Family Winery Estate Cuvée State Lane Vineyard. Still too early to open this? After four hours, the wine finally showed us who she was. Elegant, yet still restrained. We also opened 1996 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot. Still drinkable. You can still enjoy the history. Bye bye 2025.

大晦日最後のワインは、2005 Kapcsandy Family Winery Estate Cuvée State Lane Vineyard。開けるには未だ早いのか！　でも、抜栓後、4時間たってようやく本領発揮か！　1996 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlotは、もうピークは過ぎていたけど、熟成ワイン としてはかろうじて飲めるレベル。Bye Bye 2025! — 3 months ago

Round acidity with balance, smartly polished elegance with a finish that lasts 90 seconds and falls evenly on earth & fruits. — 7 months ago

At Mark Paul NYD Party old Cab series. Continuing with old Cab series. Equally surprising as the McDowell but a totally different profile, with more oxidative notes as expected for such an age and with rounder texture and shorter finish — 3 months ago

This is so good. Big red fruit to start, some earth and woodsy notes, herbs and more fruit. Just a great wine. — 3 months ago
