Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Right up my alley. Popped and poured basically. So plump and in your face fruit on the attack. Blockbuster styling. Ripe and big with dense dark fruit and milk chocolate. Extraction though missing a tad of the mid palate. Lower acidity but really juicy and elegant with a layered finish.

Eucalyptus, pencil, cacao on the nose. Full bodied, dark garnet murky, medium stain, spice, cedar, currant jam, hint of blueberry jam, well balanced, with a medium to mild finish.

Decanted. Classic cab notes. Mid-life and still has some good years to go. 15%

Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Big, plump and ripe throughout. Powerful blackberry and plum. Able to maintain good balance, but just a bit hollow and short.

Light on oak, but high alcohol (15%). A very delicious wine but the QPR is tough to swallow. Really enjoyed with skirt steak.
