Very similar to my notes on 10/16/2015. The difference between PnP and a four hour decant was fairly minimal. Blue and black liqueur fruit flavors, with some asphalt, slate, and hints of bitter dark…
All of my other previous notes apply. This just feels like sort of a lost wine. Nothing really distinguishing about it. I found it difficult to maintain interest in this throughout consumption. As a…
PnP with wild flavors of red and black berry, red currant, black cherry, black raspberry, tobacco, bitter chocolate, and dust. A little high-toned to start, but quickly lost its bite after a little…
Nice tropical fruit, pineapple, lemon verbena, grass, and some mineral notes. Decent acidity and texture, but dropped off a bit on the mid-palate and finish. Would not be able to differentiate this…
Similar to previous notes. Fruity and a bit sweet. Fairly one-dimensional. A good, easy-going drink, but nothing to get too excited about. Seems to be on the decline for me; not enough structure to…
Similar to my previous CT notes on this wine, except that it really took quite a while before it opened up into anything worth gaining any interest. On initial PnP, it came across flat and muted,…
A great effort. Tasted alongside the 2012 Mending Wall Cabernet (see my CT notes on the 2012). Has all of the crowd-pleasing stuffing of the 2012, but the 2013 also gains points for a more layered…
A definite crowd pleaser and a QPR that is worth seeking out. Tasted at Mending Wall via a Coravin; tasted alongside the 2013 Mending Wall Cabernet (see my CT notes on the 2013). Tightly wrapped dark…
