30 days after coravin. Cooler vintage really nice aromatics. Wine still fresh. — 10 years ago
First night stand (with my coravin).
This was my first love (in the wine world) shortly after popping my wine-cherry. But didn't appreciate it to its fullest till now. Maybe it just aged well, maybe my awareness of all the different characteristics got better...in any case, I fell in love all over again...
Nose: Perfectly ripe blackberries and deep ruby cherries. Nice baking spices. The 2012 Faust smells like a $5-bottle in comparison (even though it cost about the same price the times that I became proud owners of both, especially with this particular bottle back when I was a poor graduating college student). Maybe that's how 9 years of experience affects your maturity...maybe I just need to drink more wine and edumacate myself, which I don't mind.
Tongue/mouth: Even though it's 12 years old, the tannins hold on for dear life to your taste buds (hasn't really incorporated itself to the rest of the nicely developed parts of its body). Drink with something fatty (like my short rib I happened to have). Then you can really enjoy the berriness of the wine.
I'm just so purely happy that I can enjoy a taste of it without the guilt of having to commit to it fully and leave it [the bottle] feeling empty. Thank you, Cory. — 9 years ago
Thank you coravin! Couldn't afford a bottle like this but got to taste. Outstanding! Black cherry with some smokiness. Great length, very powerful. Best bouquet I've ever experienced. Hope to drink again some day. — 10 years ago

2008 tasted via Coravin on 1-10-2015. Perfumed nose, elegant, light bodied Napa Cab. Smooth tannins, matching perfectly with grass-fed Tbone. Will get better with time. Beautiful now. — 9 years ago
