Enjoyed one of our last of these on Christmas Day. It was fabulous with our Jamabalaya dinner. I am always blown away by the structure and balance of every K-B I open. They're like diamonds: great to get (as if anyone would give theirs away), multi-faceted, brilliant to behold, and there is no substitute. I have had many Cali PNs and for me K-B is a "girl's best friend."
Had the 04 Cohn at Hacienda del Sol in Tucson (I *wish* I had some of my own) not long ago and for my palate the extra year in the bottle gives the edge to the 03 RRV. Overall, however, it was really fun to have tried that wine in the barrel last year and then later in the bottle.
You have a great blog, Dan. Love hearing the news.
