  Too young to rate. Really compelling nose of leather, cassis, cigar, and stone. Quite tight even hours after decanting, with a fair bit of resistant tannin. Fresh figs. Some lifted herbal quality probably from the Cabernet. Seems super good, but hard to get to the center of. Intriguing. Clearly very high quality. Needs time.

  Luftet 3 t ca. Er det … Tommy the Cat? Lukter det propan? Javisst. Det bandet er en smakssak men når du drikker denne vinen bør du faktisk høre på Primus. Gassbrenneren slukker etter hvert. Igjen er en voldsom solbærfrukt, kraftig tobakk - men også trøffel og skogbunn som gir vinen en ekstra dimensjon. Voldsom kraft men også elegant i munnen. Utrolig at vinen bare har 5% cabernet sauvignon. Bedre om 20 år? Yes. Digg allerede? Yes. Glimrende vin

  Had at Bourbon Steak in Nashville.
  
  First time having this wine, and notes are from memory the night before, so bear with me.
  
  Nose was leather, olives, berries, dried strawberry and a hint of something reminiscent of almonds.
  
  Palate followed along with dried fruit, some red, some black. Powerful but elegant, this was a treat to have served.

  Lovely, expressive nose. Smoky blackberry and raspberry. Cedar, coconut and tobacco. Concentrated with firm tannins at this stage but with great freshness. Very long on the finish. Honestly too young even with a lengthly decant, hold.
