Pale yellow on pour…vivid notes of lemon, quince, yuzu with a hint of baked bread. Medium weight, nice acid/fruit balance. No “wow” here, but nicely serviceable as early summer dinner companion to Veal Piccatta …lemon, butter, capers, champagne… near perfection! — 23 days ago

Gorgeous garnet, star bright reflectivity. Rim to rim continuity. Cedar dusted black cherry and strawberry glow warmly in a vanilla and baked cran and ripe red currant dappling. There are red apple leanings and roobios-tulip whispers in a complex and seductive nose that stoops in bushes of thyme and all spice pods. Rich mouthfeel exhibits bits of its green youth, but has unveiled to reveal its abundance with a lengthy decant. Tart cherry and sweet tobacco, tart raspberry essence, dried violets and rose petal, dried strawberry and beet soaked thyme. Grossly underrepresented in this assessment, as the whole is like a wondrous river in a florid wood undulating with ripples of fallen blossoms. Astounding.

Very non-traditional brunello. Creamy more Bordeaux like than a typical more acidic Sangiovese. — a month ago

DAY1
Served with the Vinloq System
👃Lovely perfumed fruit. High toned. Sweet with a candied edge. Cherry liquer and mint
👅More restrained than the nose. Fruit is also darker. Somewhat closed and not giving up too much. Med acidity. Tannins have astringency

Remaining wine Slow Decanted in my refrigerator

DAY11
👃Very floral and sweet red fruits. Blood orange, medicinal herbs and mint
👅Floral and sweet,mostly red fruit. Wood/hay and earth. Mild tannins

Slow Decanting helped this improve some on DAY11 but this still needs a few years of bottle ago to reveal itself and improve its precision, which I expect it to do 🍷

The 19’ is the first vintage release under new ownership, which tries to establish a new branding for Cult. Not sure it’s because of the lawsuits or pure marketing decision.
I have not tasted prior vintages, which costs well over $100 under the Beau Vigne brand. The 19’ costs $30, at which is a very good value IMO.
Full body, rich and delicious as expected. A bit more extracted than I would like, but overall there is the sense of balance.
I would buy again if it’s still around $30. — a month ago

Powdery tannins coat a core of dark bramble fruit, cedar. Still high pitched. Needs time to settle. — a month ago

Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and citrus zest, crisp with lively acidity and mineral notes. Medium finish ending with a spicy flinty character. Drink now, wine best when young. Tasting Sample! — 2 months ago
