There’s a silky braiding texture on this wine. Silky fine tannins from the french oak not doubt. An outstanding wine.

Another Wednesday Wine Committee for the books, this one in honor of a former WWC member, with the wines donates from his cellar by his family. A wonderful tribute. Wines tasted blind as usual.

Wow. I’ve only had this once or twice and this reminded me how enjoyable it was. Slightly extracted with a good amount of black pepper on the finish. Mainly red and black fruit dominant at this point, with a hefty mid palate showing plum and dates. I was between Bordeaux from a warm year of CdP.

I’m glad I got hold of a case. After a 2 hour decant this stuff is outstanding.

Incredible Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon from 2005.

Dark cherries and a splash of leather and pepper. Great body and mouth feel.

With filets topped with blue cheese, baked potatoes and grilled asparagus.

Best days are over at least for this bottle - too overripe.
