Saturday, September 4, 2010 - Culina : Our Wines, Our Style (J.W.Mariott Hotel): Alcohol : 14.5%
Quite tight nose of welcoming tobacco, cigar box, cook meat, blackberry and licorice. Full body, large-scale, huge concentration with lots of ripe and spicy dark fruits framed by the mouth coating fine-grained powdery tannins that is well balance by the high-level acidity that giving good depth and structure which flow into a complex, long finish that linger effortlessly. Still a new world / California Cab but the class and style here is fabulous. This required another 10-15yrs to evolve, at the very least. A great wine, sadly, way out of my budget. Buy - No
