Fine Wine Original Wood Case- Perfection 100 Points !
The listing
Selling a (6) pak in the original wood case of an incredible wine out of Napa Valley. 2002 Shafer Hillside Select cabernet, stored correct since release, wine fills into the neck of the bottle. A great treasure for that special occasion, holding a perfect wine score Professional Reviews 100 Jeb Dunnuck "Pure perfection in red wine, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is world-class in every way, and it's such an incredible tasting experience. Still deep ruby/plum-hued, it offers a sensational array of darker currants, truffly earth, camphor, chocolate, and assorted spices to go with a full-bodied, lavish, opulently textured style on the palate. Drinking at point, with both fresh fruit as well as plenty of secondary nuances, it shows the heights Napa Valley Cabernet can hit." (02/2023) 100 Wine Advocate "In contrast to the more linear, structured, but massive 2001, the 2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is pure fruit-bomb material, but stunningly proportioned, beautifully pure, with notes of melted chocolate, blackcurrant jam, sweet black cherries, licorice, camphor and charcoal. Very full-bodied, like the 2001, but much more lavishly fruited, it is more accessible and hedonistically, as well as intellectually, satisfying. If the 2001 is the long-distance runner, this comes across more like a middle-distancer. It had performed fabulously well since it was released by the winery, and even though it's still an adolescent in terms of its evolution, this wine is a head-turner in wine tastings, and a spectacular effort from Napa.
