Community Tasting Note
cab blends Likes this wine:
Saturday, April 13, 2024 - NOT blind
Decanted for 4 hours.
Light nose - deep rich velvety red in color. I was surprised the nose is so restrained.
Light medium rounded body with oak and tannins but acidity to last in the finish.
Long finish with furry tannins. This can last for a few years. I am not sure if it will more rounded as the acidity seems to be more powerful than the body. I hope that is not true and will revisit this wine in 2025 and see how it evolves. The finish is reminiscent of an older light Bond (Vecina 2009?)
Dark fruits and mid to end palate is enticing. 95-

Post writing the initial note, I have now read my last note (2020) and interesting to see the progression. It seems to have mellowed (with respect to the acidity in the back end and the red fruits have become darker - otherwise consistent.
