Intriguing & unique Cab. Spicy red fruit in the nose & through the palate. This yields some smoky/spicy notes on the mid palate & through the finish. Plenty of tannic structure persisting here. Under appreciated producer outside of Washington. Very nice bottle of Cabernet. — 6 years ago
Decanted 45 min, firm yet silky tannins, lovely lingering finish, dark cherry, toffee, not big fruit, much more subtle, but the wow factor is there. Fantastic. Can’t wait to see this one age a few. Very drinkable now. — 6 years ago

1996 Dumas Clos St. Denis. Dinner at home during Quarantine. Opened and served. Didn’t decant. First pour (while cooking) was straight after opening and very strong fresh strawberry notes. Really evolved in bottle over dinner (next hour or so), getting richer, showing nice tannins (in a feminine way), and became much more complex. By the end of the night (2 hours later), was richer and much more Burgundian. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout the evolution. Next time, if drinking quickly, would event ~30 mins before serving. — 6 years ago
Nice surprise from the back of my wine “cellar”. 2015 but seems older. — 6 years ago

Beaujolais Villages that throws quite a bit of sediment & has the correlate concentration to give off a Cru vibe; has some grip too, like a Morgon meets Brouilly (the parcel of land is at the foot of the Brouilly mountains). Grainy raspberry & dark cherry coulis notes. For about 14$ on sale (maybe 20$ typically) a no brainer. — a day ago
