Wonderful evening at the City Club courtesy of Jeff’s hosting at the Friday group. Cellar guessing Jeff is a dangerous game as he’s the type who plans to throw curveballs! All wines served blind.

Ageless. Based on color, I immediately thought Napa but the palate had me second guessing. Some rose petal, spice and tart cherry. Cedar. This tastes so much younger than the ‘88 I opened a few months back. Wonderful wines. — 8 years ago

A fitting 600th wine for me on Delectable. Such a youthful, wonderful being. Lemon and lemon zest. Melon and slate. Softness beyond its years. Finish was a floral and citrus explosion that goes on into a velvet abyss. — 8 years ago

Drinking well - just cresting the hill Needs a nice long time to open now. This is the very first vintage of Sass I ever had. It was wild and wonderful young, sexy and bold as it got mature and is entering the classy and silky phase. — 12 years ago

Bruised apple, caramel suggest it’s time to drink up. The amazing, almost painful acidity adds wonderful tension to the otherwise aging body. — 8 years ago

This really does need a good ol decant but has wonderful concentration, very deep, almost broody nose of intense blackcurrant and dark plum fruit as well as a strange but very attractive mix of blueberry & graphite, almost heading towards prune.
A very well balanced mid palate though seems to be somewhat lacking in acidic lift overall but the fruit seems well integrated with the tannins, slightly underripe black berry fruit and with some grip on the finish, food would benefit this wine at the moment but it would be interesting to see how this comes along. Feels like it would benefit from at least another 5 years in bottle. Decent length. — 12 years ago

Oh my gawd dawg! I tried this at the California Wine Festival and loved it so much that I took it away from the crowd and had a quiet moment and a wee whisper with it. It's really wonderful when you drink some average to decent wines and suddenly throw an absolute stoater in there for perspective.

I can't really do it justice with my ham-fisted tasting notes, but believe me when I say that this is a delightful wine that reminds you how wonderful Napa can be. - Ross Gardiner — 12 years ago
