1991 Dominus. Dinner with J&L B and D&M H, while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and decanted right before serving. Loved it. Drinking beautifully. Still had some fruit in it but well balanced and some good earthy qualities. JB and I preferred this to the ‘94 Screaming Eagle we drank afterwards. — 6 years ago

Mmm I LOVE ❤️ a good Cab Franc and this one is fabulous! Full body, dark purple in color, tastes of plum and blackberry with a nice long finish. Will definitely buy this again. The Wine Cellar-Boynton Beach, FL — 8 years ago

Cork smelled like a really nice cigar. On the aroma I’m getting more fresh tobacco, peppercorn and cedar. A sticky mouthfeel dominates the first sip, but the second sip shows a delicate acid that reminds me of key lime. Surprised at the amount of acid and bright fruit that come through considering the aroma. Overall not too bad! — 5 years ago

Monthly WTF wine group meet up. This month is new world vs old world Rhône’s. All wines tasted blind. 3 flights.

I called this old world Syrah. Checks off all the boxes for a C-H. This had more meat and acidity than the Pax it was poured alongside. Similar dark red fruit profile. Thanks @Michael Rariden — 7 years ago

Refreshing acid balances off dry wine (not sure if this is exactly the one I am drinking as j haven’t seen the bottle). This kabinett is not totally dry. Great slate, waterfall aroma and lovely honeyed apricot. — 3 years ago

1994 Screaming Eagle. Dinner w J&L B and D&M H while staying with D&M in Santa Ynez. Opened and waited about an hour. Decanted right before serving. Tons of jammy dark fruit. Opened more in the glass. JB mentioned full palate and balance. Great finish. Preferred this to ‘91 Dominus once this opened up. — 6 years ago
