Tabernacle. Une excellente IPA canadienne. Relativement légère et fruitée — 8 years ago

On the nose? Leather, musty library dust, tabernacle air, hints of menthol. On the pallet? More leather, herbs, earthiness. Nothing at all like the 1992 (98 is better) and nothing like the other thousands and thousand of other Californian wines. — 10 years ago

Sceptical from previous supertuscan encounters, I decided to try the original from Antinori (which I was sure was overpriced). Intense clear dark ruby color; the fruit hit me before the glass was even swirled and then reveals dark and red fruits in perfect balance with oak aromas; high acid, high alcohol, youthful delicious round mouthfeel of dark dried fruits and supple tannins at front of mouth, and with a medium-long finish. Well balanced, elegant, and powerful; and priced correctly. Had with pata negra, manchego and the organ of the Mormon Tabernacle sounding off Saint-Saëns' symphony. — 9 years ago

The 1999 tasted on 2/20/2015
A study in quiet power. An hour in, the fruit and violets emerged from the nose. On the palate, a lovely balance of ripe earth and fruit. Tannins still prominent, but a welcome support. Very beautiful. Like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing en mass, quietly. — 10 years ago
