Back in September when we had originally featured this with a 40% discount we thought that it just couldn’t get better.

Thought that WAS the Last Word. It wasn’t. Now for an extra special 50% off to celebrate its well deserved WIA, this must be the LAST LAST LAST WORD?

This is indisputably the nether, a no-man’s-land where such Cabs have ever explored at way under $20. Dare we say, not even engineers of over-delivering Washingtonians such as Charles Smith, Dave Phinney, or Joey Wagner have ever come close to the intensity with this Last Word. Why we need to elaborate any further on THE Last Word is beyond us, anyway, it IS the Last Word, full stop, final-final, mic drop, over and out dammit!

- Operatives: Okay, fine, well, how about a tasting note at least?

A richly flavored red blossom once sipped, supple, and complex with currants, herbs, and toasty oak. With almost digital precision, beautifully integrated, while supremely long on the truly impressive finish. An inspirational accomplishment with a $100 feel, ready for exquisite cuts of the best meats you can obtain, or if meat is not your thing, toss some fresh pasta with cream and exotic mushrooms, under a mountain of just grated Parmigiano…

Meanwhile:

- Operatives: Okay, OKAY we’ll buy cases and cases, until it sells out just so you stop babbling away!

- Agent Noir: …
