This is the ultimate #FridayCabernetfix day, isn't it? #HappyNewYear

This is a beautiful Double Magnum from Napa Valley.

Full bodied and smooth with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with tobacco, cedar, vanilla, licorice, peppercorn, chocolates, coffee and light earth.

Long finish with firm tannins.

Rich and bold with a nice mouthfeel. Still young, but already delicious.

This 6 year old, from the 2015 vintage, is extracted and in your face kind of wine, that needs at least 15 years in the bottle. Showing great complexity already, with a great mouthfeel.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime, which I did not have. This double Magnum finished so quickly.

A really nice wine to have all by itself.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in 100% new oak barrels. A small production of only 175 cases.

15.1% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

Wasn’t planning to open this bottle but we needed something with a clean flinty/mineral finish to go with the Japanese New Years dishes. #happynewyear — 7 years ago

Bright, apple, pear and quince. Finishes with some breads and dough. Happy New Year! #happynewyear @P A @Michael Bleszynski @Tyler Martinelli @Sharon B @Trixie @AgeyFixey @Daniel Martinez Cardenas @"Odedi" @Kendall Johnson @Kristie M. Connor Here’s to an amazing 2019! — 7 years ago

Delicate, clean mushroom initially, turns slowly to brioche and pastry, with zinnia and magnolia-ocean and a delicate mushroom sauté. Deep lemon-lime instantly purifies and reveals layers of sublimely thin croissant flake. Lime zest and tart lemon lift airily from the glass while the biscuity elements complete the perfect cross-section of earthy root, mushroom, flower and alpine sky. Ethereal. #happynewyear #caviar #newyear #osetra #russianosetra #champagne #krug #krug166theditionbrut #kruggrandcuvée #bubbles #champagnedreams #chamagneandcaviar #2021 — 5 years ago

Still fresh but the buttery-ness is there and enjoyable. White stone fruit and some light spices as well on the palate. #happynewyear — 7 years ago

Briny lemon, dried apricot and hints of dried pineapple are eclipsed by ginkgo and light rye bread, cantaloupe and lime; Gardenia and white pepper with lillies. Exquisite mouthfeel, of tangerine, clementine, orange blossom, ripe lemon, creamy lemon panna cotta, white pomegranate seeds, olive cameo that dissipates into a sea spray and Northwest oyster with briny sweetness. #HappyNewYear #Champagne #growerschampagne #growersblend #bubbles #Palmerandcompany #Reims #brutréserve #brut #palmer #sparkler #frenchwines #france — 7 years ago

Balanced but almost to a fault. Probably some bottle variance here but it doesn’t leave a big impression. Wet stones... not that I know what they taste like... graphite and elegant flavors of dried roses, forest floor, plum and cassis. #happynewyear — 7 years ago

Light toasty notes on the nose with hints of spices. Lightly oxidized in the Selosse style which just leaves you with a finish that goes on for ages and ages.... one of the best bottles I’ve had. #happynewyear

Good chance this is my wine of the year despite it being the first week of Jan. — 7 years ago
