Maybe best described as "medium"??? Somewhat weak on the nose. Smooth tanins. Liked the mouthfeel / texture as smooth and creamy. Not very long on the finish. Easy to drink for sure. Nothing stood out as extrodinary, but was enjoyable. The body is Light/Medium. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Short.

Earthy w/ strong fruit on the nose. Jumps out of the glass initially with flavor. Big bold cab. Relatively long / dry finish. I have never written leather or tobacco on a tasting note, but with this wine, I detect both. Begs for a steak. Go big or go home! Second day... uncorked bottle for another glass. Wine had mellowed considerably. Still strong fruity aroma, but considerably less bold after a day. Still very good, just different. The wine looks Ruby colored. It tastes like and Tobacco. The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Leathery texture. The wine finishes Long.

Big fruity nose. Detect the alcohol on the nose. Starts with big fruit taste... cherry to me. Good texture / solid tanins. Dry finish. Big tasting cabernet... wife liked it too.
