Remarkable example of whole cluster style at an extremely reasonable price. The precision found here offers a glimpse of what C-C's top wines have to offer. — 10 years ago

I remember 1st time reading the wine note , I 'm confused by all these words such as linden flower ,gooseberry,genet,locust.... Growing up in Asia,I am not familiar with so many fruits or woods I 've never seen in supermarket, I thought a wine note should be able to reduce the complexity of the tasting of wine , not the other way around. I could not find a way to resolve this till I meet this wine. When I taste cask23 , after a sip of of FAY, another sip of S.L.V and sips of some white, I felt like finally I meet the goddess. If FAY is a fair lady, SLV is a leaping stag or elf, Cask 23 is the godness. I could not find a other word to describe this wine characteristics overall , not by naming it after fruits, the complexity, elegancy, as well as amazing glimpse, everything makes her a prefect lady. A real goddess beats Old world wine in 1976 XD💪💃💃🎈👍😄 — 11 years ago

Brooding beast. Cherry cola and dark fruit on the front, fleeting acidity on the back with just a brief glimpse of tannin, but plenty of alcohol and body. — 10 years ago

Amazingly brilliant the 1969 Krug Cabernet Sauvignon gives you a glimpse of what CA wines were all about. Grippy acid still leaves the wine with structure and an amazing balance and a long finish makes this a compelling drink! — 10 years ago

Decadent. With cheese and dreams. After a serious phalanx of wine. Including a corked 96 MDT. Very grateful for this glimpse. — 11 years ago

2012 Vintage - Peppery, very dark, gnarly, smoky, black cherry, black currant, , glimpse of leather and game. Long finish. Very nice. Could age 3-5 years. Classic Mourvedre/Monastrell profile. Fantastic for Under $20 — 11 years ago

Color me a proud mother. You know what, don't color me at all. Was relieved this showed no signs of premox. A subtle wine that afforded glances of elements followed by a glimpse of the whole. Toasted oak was a nice, subtle frame, and a layer of tropicality emerged as a nice feature. Racy and almost stingy at first, with increasing length as the hours passed. In an adolescent stage but with great bones. — 12 years ago

Opened way too young, despite the vintage this has years ahead of it. Not sure what I was thinking. Last glass was just giving a glimpse of what this might become. Rich red fruit, earth and very beguiling. Wish I'd kept it hidden though. The '09. — 10 years ago

at first glimpse it is german riesling, loads of exotic fruit and stones.
but it was the first time i reckoned a certain sauternes touch in a non-sauternes wine, my nose impression still rang the sauternes bell even after the product got discovered.

gorgeous, well balanced wine! — 10 years ago

A deep intense perfumed glimpse into the hills of northern Italy. Gets better and more expressive with time and pairs well with lamb shank ragout. I heart Nebbiolo! — 11 years ago

Just beautiful. Bright fruit, seamless tannin, and a glimpse of the earth it was raised in. With lovely, restrained character, and refreshing acidity- in a town of big fat plush Cabernets, this has finesse and class. Can't wait to see how it evolves! — 12 years ago
