From Schneider’s, obviously after our trip through Blaye. Opened 12/10/2023. Potent tannic. Needs to breathe and maybe decant. — 2 years ago

Casual pour of the Sunday evening part 2. Very young, needs air. A bit harsh around the edges at first but settles down after a while. True to type. Cherry, green bell pepper, black pepper on the nose. Good acid drive, nice cherry note all along, some vivid mouthfeel, some drying tannins in the rear. There is some width and some dusty, drying effect starts a long and fruit-forward finish with an umami twist which makes it great, with almost a touch of meat juice. It's a very good wine but I suspect that it could be even better in another 2 or 3 years. — 2 years ago

This 96 Citran seriously over delivers @Cole’s Chop House Napa. Bought this 8 months or so ago for $39.99 at K&L. Clyde has brought in another grand slam value -golden gem.
Previous notes apply. Nearly 94 with the Cowboy Bone-in Ribeye. The Cowboy is their best steak and the only one I order.
I am mostly disappointed in most steakhouse recommendations or read, not Cole’s. — 2 months ago
