Magnum 1999 Harlan Estate. Welcome dinner for D fam at RW. Drank this after the '96 Araujo Eisele out of magnum. Unfortunately, this bottle was not stored properly and just didn't drink great. Unanimous that Araujo hit it out of the park and that this wine was not what it should have been. It was hot, lacked dimension, and the finish was abrupt and harsh. It should have been great, as we have been enjoying other '99s at this time, but not this bottle. — 10 years ago

Italian tasting-Loma Portal 11/23. Co-wine of flight #3. My favorite Tignanello so far. Reminded me of the '02 Araujo Eisele Cab. Velvet deliciousness. — 12 years ago

So much potential! After an hour in the glass just begins to open up. Precise, layers of depth and elegant. Nice! — 10 years ago

Materium Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Beautifully "restrained" (if that term applies to Napa blockbusters) and showing fantastic balance.
This reminds me of 2003 Araujo Eisele CS at age 5+.

Buy as much as you can afford and then put a few extra bottles on your CC.
This is going to be a legend in 20+ years.

Leo - I'm not at liberty to discuss TRB business but let's just say that A LOT of GOOD wines are being made at MW so check it out (they have a Tasting Room).
Hope you have a great '15 vintage on your hands. Cheers /H
