Similar to my CT notes 5 months ago. PnP with a chalky bite surrounding the red plum and black raspberry notes. 45 minutes in the decanter shed this wine of the chalky clamp on the finish, leaving…
PnP with extremely tight, acidic, and high-toned red currant, pomegranate, and tart blackberry, along with black licorice, and asphalt flavors. Initially a bit repelling, with that "Uh Oh" response…
PnP with notes of restrained purple and dark red berry fruits, red and black currant, evergreen, brush, wet cedar, and wet stone. Certainly reflects the 2011 vintage in its cool and damp delivery.…
PnP with notes of black, blue, and purple berry fruit flavors. Additional notes of blackberry, blueberry, black currant, black licorice, asphalt, wet granite, and chocolate bar. The pebbly tannins…
PnP with soft notes of plum, red currant, wood, and some spice. There were some additional forest floor and sage flavors that emerged in the glass over the course of an hour, adding interest to the…
PnP with notes of pear, citrus and lemon, flint, grass, and a hint of vanilla. Not a whole lot of broad fruit flavors in this wine, with a bit of a pithy aftertaste that is somewhat distracting.…
PnP with barely any fruit to speak of, almost like drinking water that has been aged in used Cabernet barrels. Diluted red currant and wood notes are at the forefront, with a runny, thin texture and…
Thin, dry, and cedar-ridden, with watery red currant and flabby plum notes. A hint of black currant keeps this wine from totally collapsing into a completely overly-lithe wine. Best forgotten.
Same as my previous CT notes on this wine. Solid wine with complex and tiered flavors. A dark profile, especially flaunting its blackberry and black licorice notes. Has a cool, striking minerality…
Elevated from a 92 to a 93 this tasting, as air continues to be a friend to this wine. Akin to my previous CT notes on the 2012 Brown Label, a slow O2 and some vigorous swirling in the glass surely…
Keeps getting better and better. Moved this up to 98 points after a flight of Cabernets at the Mark Herold tasting room in Napa; tasted alongside the 2012 White and Brown Labels. As usual, the 2013…
Drank at Carter/Envy alongside the 2013 Carter Fortuna, Weitz, and Hossfeld Coliseum. Also had barrel samples of the 2015 Myriad Dr. Crane and 2015 Quivet Kenefick Ranch Cabernets.

Similar to all of my notes on this wine in terms of flavor profile, but I bumped this up a number of points to 97. Slow O2 for two hours this time around, which absolutely allowed for it to transform…
