A bit of reduction, savory and a slight bitterness like cherry stones. Oak integrated well with fine tannins. Awesome stuff from Trevor Mast. — 6 years ago

When one waits there can be rewards. This Cab has delicious plum and currant flavors, soft oak accent and long finish. Was ready and well balanced. — 5 years ago

2002 Rousseau Chambertin. Family dinner at Mast. Opened early, but didn’t decant. Was def tight at first. Eventually opened up, but lacked the roundness and openness of a mature, ready wine. Prob too early to drink yet. — 5 years ago
Love! Caramel finish, super easy to drink! — 5 years ago
2005 Schrader Beckstoffer To Kalon CS. Dinner at Mast. We should have decanted sooner. Only decanted for an hour or so while, once we sat down to dinner. Opened up a lot as we ate dinner. Super rich and flavorful. Definitely decant longer next time — 6 years ago
Road trips deserve respites. Beaufort, SC’s Old Bull Tavern spinning Marvin, Jimmi, and Stevie while casually offering up perfect garlicky oil bathed snails set upon crazy freshly baked chewy sour dough simply screams for, oh yeah, the wine. This fine Pomerol waits, wanting , her dangerously dark scarlet skin shimmers as she spins in the early evening tempted by the tunes revealing her marooning shades, darker bleeding berries, showing lighter in the wafting inconsistency of candle light. Another spin , a tilt, a voyeur’s gaze, a twirl, and a first kiss’ earthy wet spice on the front succumbs to plum its well-balanced acid clutches begging another spin, The I sip slow seductive deep kiss as she floods forward - I swallow, but she clings slowly, gradually, teetering touching sliding slowly, stealthy, soothingly, seductively signaling - have another hit... Don’t miss this wine or place, both picture perfect dripping southern edge and charm with a French accent and kiss🍷🌀 — 6 years ago
