Monday, October 20, 2008 - connoisseur wines new world and new additions fall portfolio (Vivere, Chicago IL): nose: nice expressive nose with tones of cassis, cherries, red currants, bits of roasted herbs, and anise
taste: good medium feel with tones of cherries, red currants, and anise
overall: nice and approachable with silky tannins. The palate doesn't live up to the nose, but this is a really good cab that can get a bit better with a bit of age on it
