Nice texture and soft tannins, but the flavor profile is all at the high end (bordering on citrus) without the bass notes of blue/black fruits, chocolate or cedar that I expect from a good cabernet.

Similar to before with black cherry and currant with a nice creamy texture to it. Big core of earth, tar, and licorice notes, smooth tannins, long finish.

Black cherry and currant with subtle tar and earth notes. Firm tannins, long finish. Tasted against the '07 version of this wine and although this is fantastic, I think I still like the '07 slightly better at this point.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are fast. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like prune, strawberry jam, cherry, mineral, coffee, nutmeg and violet. It tastes like black currant (cassis), strawberry jam, cherry, forest floor, mineral, vanilla, nutmeg and tobacco. The body is medium. The wine has linear texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity. This wine aged very quickly. It tastes like a much older wine. Through its years it has lost most of its finish. It falls short and loses its depth. Drink this wine now.

Paired beautifully with New York strip steak, mushrooms, avocado & blue cheese-dressed grilled Romaine. Disappeared in short order.
