Trader Joe’s sign led me right: this went great with chili! It was full and spicy but not too tannic to have with dinner. — 3 years ago
Drank in 2020. Still lots of body, fruit and was very smooth as lots of tannins had fallen out. Brickish brown hue, long finish, pleasant palate. — 4 years ago
Woke up after one hour. Powerful aroma with oak, black currant and other fruits. Earthy, fallen leaves flavor which were initially found was surpassed by vanilla and concentration. Spicy and dry. Traditional. 2001 @1280, domaine XH, 210821 — 3 years ago
Young, but accessible. Gun flint nose is instantly seductive descending like smoke onto brioche and twists of impossibly minute lemon peel, lime and tangerine piths, underripe pineapple freshness, Marcona almond, toasted sesame, chalky chunks have absorbed the smoke, and fallen citrus celebrates its rebirth. Lemon pith that oozes lemon skin oils like dewdrop diamonds. Incredible minerality that crystallizes into spines of grapefruit, dandelion, dried gooseberry, and marigold. Shiny, bright, crystal clean, and revelatory. Amazing compilation of parts that remains suspended like a chandelier in ethereal weightlessness.

At 10.5yrs old, this private label WF cab is, well, straight forward and touch underwhelming. The fruit is clean and does trend toward WA state pedigree, but the power and tannic resolve have fallen short by the order of one magnitude. Very pleasant nevertheless…and completely fine for Tuesday burgers ;) — 3 years ago

Matured taste. Still has acidity. Complexity. Fallen leaves. 2010 @2564, xiaduo -, 220927-221007 — 2 years ago
