Took delivery 3 weeks ago (11/28/20) Powerful but balanced. 16.1% ABV. Nose makes me feel like I’m eating Australian black licorice in a wildflower garden. The earth comes through on your palate with notes of cocoa, coffee, and cedar. Drinks like a $40-50 bottle. Given time it will only get better. 3 out of 3 on the de Negoce Cabernets for us.

Received delivery and coravin’d one within 5 minutes. First opinion was the taste was better than the nose and on par with a $20 Napa cab. After an hour in the glass it has more structure and the aromas have opened up. Based on how it’s drinking now we decided to open the bottle. Very pleased with this purchase, could easily retail for $40-$50. At $12 it’s a steal, gets a higher rating from me for the value. 92 based on the juice, 94-95 with price in mind.
