Color - Deep dark garnet, much darker than previous vintages and those since then. Nose - Blackberry, Blackcurrants, herbaceous. Palate - Still retaining some tannins, got a bit harsh after first opened, earthy, leather, fruit has begun to dissipate probably on its way down.

More of a peppery Cabernet, but with a plush fruity character. Odd combination in some ways. But I agree with previous notes that this is a relatively easy drinking, enjoyable, and uncomplicated Cabernet.

Greatly improved after an hr of air.
Quite aromatic, with integrated fruit and secondary features showing. Good length on the finish.
