I remember having this wine in 2017 and realizing this wasn’t even close to be ready. Still angular. Tonight, while not at its peak, still really good. Best in 5-7 years.

The fruits are ripe, lush, ruby; blackberries, black plum pudding, black raspberries, dark cherries, poached strawberries,raspberries, some boysenberries with raspberry hues. Velvet, dark, meaty tannins. Dark Asian & Indian spices, dark chocolate cooking bar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanillin, dry crushed rocks, dry top soil, notes of dry herbs & eucalyptus, black tarriness, black licorice to anise, crushed limestone & grey volcanics, dry tobacco, dry barrel shavings to cedar, dark, purple florals framed in violets & lavender, excellent acidity, finish for days that still shows some tension, excellent structure, balanced fruit and earth wire to wire elegance. Pushes 94 really hard.

2007 grand vintage!

HBTM! 🥳 🎉🎂 🎈

A Christmas present from Sofia.

This is still somewhat taut and dry, meaty tannins. The first time you should open this Grand Vin. Decanted four and a half hours. It has another 20 years of good drinking ahead.

Bramble, dry blackberries, black plum, black raspberries, dry, dark cherries. Dry twig, dry crushed rocks, lead pencil for days, sandstone/limestone, dark, rich, earth with dry leaves, cigar box, ash, leathery, dark spice, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks and vanillin, slightly, moist, volcanic clay, dry & withering flowers that are dark, red and violets framed in lavender, perfect round acidity, structured, well tensioned, overly balanced to earth and smartly polished finish that lands on earth & spice. 

The 02 should be opened in another 8-10 years and will still drink well in another 20 years properly stored.

Paired with AB Brothers Ribcap, crispy baked potato & cooked carrots.

Photos of, their late summer, early fall vineyards and their iconic storage building/vineyard & stainless tanks.

The 07 Turnbull Napa almost seemed grape juice like after the 82 Les Forts & 02 Latour.

In all fairness this bottle had been open a couple of days so it might have been better on day one. A friend shared party leftovers… — 9 months ago

Lagrein Riserva 2018

Wonderful and the normal intensity of this grape. Turnbull in Napa makes a great Lagrein. They probably found a creative way to bring in the vines. — 3 years ago
