1001 Vins qu'il faut avoir bus. Une robe dense rubis avec une touche violet. Un nez de chocolat, des bleuets et du poivre. Une bouche puissante aux saveurs d'épices, de poivre, du chocolat. La finale est longue mais légèrement grossière. 14,5% bien senti.

Killer young Zin. Loads of fruit on the front end. Plum dominant in a good way with currant mid palate and a juicy long finish. — 6 months ago
Dark berries with hints of licorice. Smooth finish with nicely integrated tannins. It’s a quintessential California Cab. — 18 days ago
Englishman Jonathan Maltus (of La Dome) Napa project. Nose shows blackcurrant, plum, cassis, pencil shavings, and clove with a herbaceous undertone. Juicy with medium to full body. Velvety tannins. Stylish, but lacking a bit of depth and complexity. — 3 months ago

This is a delicious 9 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates and light vegetables.
Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of earthiness.
Needed 2 hours to open up properly.

Another oldie, probably just past its peak. 38 years old - not bad! Barn-sided red with some brick on the edge. Lots of cedar, graphite, black pepper and cigar ash to smell but little fruit. Nice smooth tannins, still a little puckering. Medium acidity. For flavor there are some darker berries and red cherry notes. It’s a nicely balanced wine. Good length on the finish. — 9 months ago
