Decanted for 20min, back to bottle and followed. 80% CS, 10% CF, 10% Merlot, ABV 14.5%
Nose is quite nice. Elegant orange peel, little bit of balsam, some deep red fruits, hint of new leather. Palate is medium-full body with nice acidity. The fruit feels round and deep, rich cherries with tart raspberry, little bit of herbs, tart orange peel. Finish a quick jolt of new leather followed by red fruit and herbs.
A beautiful rendition of a Cabernet dominant blend. Labeled as 14.5% ABV but doesn't feel like it. Plenty of weightlessness and elegance. Would go beautifully with a florentine steak.
Drink now or hold for another 5 years, should go 10 easily. 92-93ish.

This wine is youthful, exuberant, and lush with cassis, berry compote flavors and a finish I’m sure will lengthen in time. There’s a floral, jammy, earthy aroma. Glad I have 5 more. Leave this baby alone. Patience will be rewarded.

Warm spice, rich cassis and blackberry, black raspberry, wild strawberry. Quite complex; great fruit character, a little chewy in a good way and long refreshing finish, great acidity carries this.

Medium body, mineral and earth notes, a bit short.

First experience with this producer and it was a good one. Decanted for a couple hours. This bottle was ready to go. No rush
