Tasted blind. Dark reddish tawny, almost opaque. "Wild ass nose" my notes say. Notes of red fruit, plums, spice, moist earth, a little mocha and some old leather. Lively fruit matched with a nice structure. I'm in old Bordeaux land with my guess of 61 Mouton. Table talk points out how ultra rare this bottle is, with those in the know viewing it as one of the best CA cabs ever made. Hard for me to argue that as it sits next to the 74 Heitz MV and goes toe to toe with it all night. — 2 years ago
Fresh aroma. Fruity with plum, violet and strawberry. A bit sweet and enough acidity. Delicious one 2019 @1080, domaine, 210821 — 4 years ago

Feminine, refined and clean on the nose and palate. Strawberries, floral notes, pomegranate, Pommard spice on the nose. Wonderful minerality on the palate. Lacks s little bit of structure but otherwise beautiful wine. — 2 years ago

Eucalyptus bomb. Like Heitz Martha’s Vineyard, early Turnbull wines were known for the character imparted by neighboring eucalyptus groves. I’ve never come across a wine where it was as apparent as with this one. Perhaps with age the eucalyptus sticks around as the fruit fades. Enjoyable experience all the same. — 6 years ago
