Enjoyed this beauty with my bride at Chez Panisse Cafe in Berkeley last night. Tightly wound in the beginning, but loosened up in time to reveal flavors of pretty cherry and spice and aromas of leather, fresh tobacco and earth. Bravo! — 8 years ago
OKH w Declan, Lawrence, M, Summer and Quinn.
Equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan.
Strong tang on the nose. Damson and leather and cobbler’s glue. Deeply meaty, on the biltong/bresaola/basturma spectrum. Intense, the acidity spiralling through the palate and drawing in a kaleidoscope of flavours: dried tomato, sumac, goji berries, pomegranate molasses, cinnamon, rosehips, hibiscus petals, fresh sweet clementines, cobblestone-market dust. Chalk- and chalk-dust-textured tannins slipping into the taste of cold river pebbles under the fruit and spice. Complex, long, a labyrinth of hidden corners and spaces to explore. Decant for a few hours if you have to drink it now, but wait as long as you can. Like 10 years... (TC) JR17++, 2013, published Sep 2020 — 3 years ago

Experiencing this wine was like sharing a yurt or very small bed with a Jennifer Connelly aged somewhere between The Labyrinth and Requium for a Dream. Savoring this blend was one of the red wine highlights of the month. That cherry, cow dung, earthy, wilted flower, rubber door mat, cigar and prune flavor of fine, aged CDP...Almost like sharing an igloo in the remote arctic with Jennifer Connelly and having to hold on to each other tightly for warmth. — 7 years ago
