Thought this would have improved better than it has. The Tannins have Softened, the Dark Fruit still shows up. Still a good wine just not as good as I would expect.

Palate feel on this was showing plush, glycerin wrapped tannin and some really nice red/black fruit. There was a nice silky quality on entry, yet the finish showed a wine that needed some time. Give this a few years to develop, or enjoy for the sexy palate feel in its youth.

Nose exibits earthy elements, a funky nose (not in a bad way), acidic in the right amount, a smooth, elegant, pretty Cabernet that shows intensity on the palate and drinking better today than the last bottle consumed, but still needs time to evolve and mature. I have one more bottle and I will save this one for some time down the road as time will is on it's side. I will conclude by saying this 2011 wine is the exception to the rule for that vintage. This Cab is by far, the best 2011 I've tried.

Nice black and red berry juice. Some leather and dust. Slight tannin. A likeable, elegant wine.

This one is pretty much the same as it was back in 2015. A tough vintage and not not terrible but not special either, just okay. Meh! 91+ Points.
