Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cask 23, 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, $195.99-$239.99 (Was A Christmas gift), 95 points, poured core black grading crushed black currant purple/red with a transparent wine ring.
Aromas of loam, toasty fig, and cedar were subtle.
Full-bodied with mouth-watering acidity, smooth layered tannins, and rich flavors of black cherry cordial, anise, and savory were outstanding.
The forever finish of black pepper, mint, eucalyptus, boysenberry, and a warm, but balanced 14.5% alcohol were amazing.
Someone knew what to buy me for Christmas (Thanks Ethan).
