Decanter97 pts

“The 2003 Reserve is in mint condition. Tasted from magnum, the wine soars from the glass with Bordeaux-like nuances of dark cassis fruit, tobacco, violets and olive tapenade, carried by absolutely powerful fine-grained tannins. Leather, dried violets and layers of loamy earth add further depth, while black-tea tannins build on the finish, joined by Earl Grey notes. Savoury, expressive and deeply attractive, this is perfectly aged Napa Cabernet at its best — the kind of wine that makes keeping the corks in the bottle nearly impossible.”

AboutHalloween 12-bottle Mystery Case

Here is the content received yesterday, I call it a great deal at $199, few keepers, some nice bottles and the rest are decent daily drinkers. Even compared to regular LB prices worked really well. Paramour was $69 by itself earlier last month. I think the regular LB prices for the wines included in the case (with some conservative estimates for the ones not yet listed as a daily) are ~$290 total.
