Versatile and quite round for a Cabernet Sauvignon. As one critic noted, the oak is "dialed back". Easy to drink, easy to enjoy with its red to dark fruits notes combined with vanilla and graphite. The 12% Syrah Ste Michelle added to the C.S. may be the trick behind it. Well done.

The first impression was oak, possibly excessive on both on the nose and palate. Beside the oak, definitely an early indication of some redeeming qualities. Dark opaque Cabernet color. Nose has eucalyptus, crushed cranberry, kitchen spice, baked strawberry and oak. Nice refined tannins. Lingering deep red fruit. Secondary blackberry jam, cola, and black tea. Even goes to red raspberry on the finish. Superb balance.

Univinum wine fair (@EDEKA Ueltzhöfer, Heilbronn, Germany): Glass: Red Wine *** brief notes for my own memory from tasting sip. No rating *** The sales rep told me, this would be cooler and leaner. Hmm, tasted like thick, spicy red berry jam for me. Certainly on a decent level, but nothing that gets me interested in drink another sip.

Pretty good, a little sweet, gets better after airing out.
