A Barolo in all but name (“No Name”). A beautiful expression of Nebbiolo. — 4 days ago

Peach, dried apricot, lemon and orchard fruit flavors. Mild fine-grained skin astringency on finish. Decent acid, well balanced. Nice stone fruit aftertaste with length. Fine to sip or match with food not requiring high acid wines. — 2 months ago

"Odedi"

9.1

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Showing a beautiful nose, once it opens up.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, cola, peppercorn, vegetables, spices and black tea.

Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 6 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla Valley is drinking very nicely now.

Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. I had it 3 years ago, and it is drinking very similar.

Needed 30 minutes to open up, and remove some of the bitterness.

The nose is very complex at this point. Really beautiful.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 18 months in (35% new) French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$45 (current vintage). — 17 days ago

While not as intense as on release this is no where near a shrinking violet. The nose is starting to strut with scents of apple , brioche and nuts.That first taste still makes you recoil and salivate. Lemons , limes , biscuits, and a touch of butterscotch. Very long finish . Developing into everything I hoped for. — 7 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. No formal notes due to the setting. The 2018 is a fairly classic expression of Beaucastel with a mixed bramble fruit set, underbrush, herbs and spices in lovely balance. Good structure. While still on the youthful side, the 2018 is already showing well and was an awesome accompaniment with a wagyu burger. Drink now through 2038. — 4 days ago
