84-85 points Bouquet floral notes and typical notes of a CS. Palate nice blackberry and black currant, a bit leather, liquorice and oak, too much acid though, tannins not balanced. Finish medium plus, starts good but has a stronger bitter / metallic tone and is very dry at the end.

Similar to my comment of October 2016 but now much softer and ‘sweeter’ after keeping. The tannins are now totally integrated and it is surprisingly long. Not a pretentious wine but excellent easy drinking CS. Always worth buying (especially when on offer) and putting away for at least 2 years. My best value New World Cab for everyday drinking and still vg next day. 86+
