Wonderful cabernet. Like other vintages in this line, fruit forward and very well balanced. Compared to the 2007, fruit seems a touch less concentrated and darker with more prominent licorice notes. Impressive and delicious.

Surprisingly, a very subdued nose. Not sure if it's just tight, since I popped & poured. It's not drinking tight by any means. Notes of red cherry, cherry cough drop, red raspberry. Might have to hold about half this bottle for another day to see how it evolves. Solid Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now or hold two or three more years.
