26022023 - 5 ⭐️ luncheon hosted by SKT with 14 bottles of wines & 2 aged cognacs. Our 2nd round of 4 bottles tasted blind curated by SKT. Horizontal 2010 again from 4 great producers. Most of us thought this was a left bank Bordeaux including myself. Utterly surprised!! Dark fruit, forest floor, pencil shavings and nuances of cassis. Medium body with very fine tannins

Tanins gommants et sur les végétaux surtout. Long mais saturant. Pas pour moi.

It took about an hour for the wine to open in the glass, presumably less if I'd decanted. Drinking very well now, but I don't think we'll see much further development.

We decanted the wine for about 30 minutes. On the nose, there was chocolate and graphite. Wonderful QPR wine. There was a burst of fruit on the palate...berries (raspberry and cherries) with a hint of pepper; soft tannins. Enjoy!

Plums and violets on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and silky in texture. Lots of attractive plum and blackberry fruit, with notes of violet and mineral. Subtle hints of smoke and licorice add a bit of complexity to the smooth, polished finish. A very nice Chilean Cabernet. 50+5+12+16+7=90

Fantastic. Allow to aerate for an hour to balance tannins and enjoy! Will likely last another year.

This wine is at its zenith, drinking GREAT now, but still needs lots of air, both breathing and decanting. Was exceptionally dark and inky, the nose and taste was dark fruit and wood with a good amount of tannin left, so it could easily be good into 2016. 100% varietally correct and if you love great Napa and Bordeaux Cabs, you will love this wine. This was the best vintage in a long time, but year-to-year this is an outstanding …

Third bottle was very interesting. It gradually opened up but tasted different across the entire night, better as the night went on. Think this wine has yet to fully evolve, so we are going to give it another year.

Similar to last note, although tannins much more integrated-- hence a higher rating. This is in a good drinking window. Drank with beef fajitas.

Deep purple in the glass. Oaky and fruity on the nose. Well balanced, solid cabernet that paired quite well with food. Enjoyed several bottles over dinner and all were consistent and solid.

A dark red wineof berries and cassis that has high alcoholic content. Tannins stilll very evident. Spicy aftertaste, with a lingering finish. This drank better with an hour in the glass and with food. I will hold other bottle for a year and see how develops

This has improved quite a bit since the note of 2-25-13, it is really starting to open up. We still had to let it breathe and decanted it, and afterwards it still has some strong tannins, but we would call this a Cab with a lot of varietally correct depth, complexity, balance and finish. On the robust side of the spectrum. It should be even better in 2015. This is a prize wine at this price point ($20-ish), especially for …

Hard to score. Tannic over the top. Needs another year in cellar. Much potential.

Wasn't enthralled, but nonetheless a fairly decent drop. Unmistakeably new world cab. Plenty of baked fruit, some cocoa powder, cassis and wood. Palate was somewhat stalky and alcohol was noticeable.
