Is at its peak and being enjoyed on its own before dinner and then with dinner. Deep garnet color, full bodied dark fruit and a silky smooth mid palate and finish. I’m so glad I have two more.

PnP then decanted. Still very dark. Nose very classically cabernet sauvignon with some herbal/bell pepper notes that informed its varietal character (as opposed to the scents that can dominate an unripe cabernet). Very rich entry, dark fruits with some plumcake and spice overture. Sweet tannins that softened over the hour and a half. Put on some weight as it opened. Nice finish with fruit that persisted. Not a ton of complexity but overdelivered pure cabernet fruit for $20. Drink over the next couple of years as the fruit overshadows the acidity and tannin.

A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet on color. A medium to full bodied smooth red, with black cherry, plum, herbs, mineral and spice on elegant finish. In a great drinking zone. www.winelx.com

Smooth texture, tannins are well integrated. Notes of black fruits, hints of cherry and spice, mocha. Medium finish.
