Very good Cab. Medium body, -light on its feet but substantial. Thinking if you don’t like “milkshake fruit-bomb’ Cabs, this is one to consider. Cudos, the wine did not have a 2017 charter that I’ve tasted before on several other cabs

Quick decant and we were off to the races. Nice soft bouquet, with red fruit and dark cherry on the nose, with just a hint of wood. This is not a big Napa fruit bomb Cab. Very nice, well-balanced, soft tannins and it paired perfectly with a Smoked Gouda Burger.

rich red-purple color, aggressive young nose of cassis, cherries, venison and leather, crushed berries, on the palate sensationally good, young and exuberant, already showing a nice breadth of flavors and herbal notes, brush, blueberry, cherry, cassis and leather, soft grey mineral edges, fine long fragrant finish, a superb vintage for this great wine, we were lucky it was showing so well- a good long rest in the cellar is needed.
(*****), 2032++

Very balanced. Structure built to age. Great acidity and tannin. Read a wine critic review that 2017 was able to be opened young and I agree.

Smells weirdly grenache plastic-y.
