Rich and lush without being heavy. Balances dark berries against rich cocoa nibs, coffee and oak. Hints of green pepper through the finish. Resolved tannins, the wine is velvety softy with great length.
I don't drink or own a lot of cabs but this is seriously good. The 2018 window is laughable too, this easily has another five years ahead of it.

Slow oxed for several hours. Concentrated, intense blackberries and cassis abounds, then finishes with fine, sweet tannins and vibrant acid. Wonderful, tooth-coating, seductive Cabernet.

I gotta say: it's outstanding. Beautiful deep purple color; candied nose. Delicious, and harmonious. Grape candy, balanced by tannins and acidity. Lovely.

Delicious and open. Lots of up-front black cherry and anise. Nice finish. At peak, but not fading.
