Sweet notes
Well melded tannins, red fruit and black fruit
Bit of spice
Third Meritage wine in the Hanukkah celebration.
Might have commanded an even better score but it was chasing the Dominus and the Les Pavots
Glad I own two more

In comparison with the Dominus from the same year the 389 was more fruit forward. More "Aussie". Trademark mocha choc malt notes with cassis. — 10 years ago
Didn't have the 2002 Dominus so "settled" for this beauty. — 10 years ago

I don't get the hype. Well made but I'd rather have an old dominus at this price — 10 years ago
Best of the three bottles that we had, and that's something.... Because the original guy from Dominus, was the guy that owned Petrus... This was just real good... Looking for a case tomorrow.... Trattoria Romano/Boca. — 11 years ago

Beat out 08 Dominus. Nice Cali cab nose with good acidity and great mouth feel. Love the Bard. — 10 years ago
