  Looks lovely, clean and glassy. Nose is alive and very inviting with cool spice. It’s a knockout on the palate with rich black fruit and exotic spice. I don’t know if it’ll ever get any better but at 14.6 ABV it’s not going south anytime soon.

  Decanted for 1.5 hours. Beautiful nose, very strong on the front of the palate, then fades away nicely. Tannins have now softened and it tastes more like a milder cabernet blend rather than the big, bold cabernet that was advertised. Still delightful and seductive.

  Remains BIG wine. Should have decanted for hour or longer before consumption. Agree with prior comment that doesn't drink like q cabernet sauvignon.

  It was delicious! So good I really didn’t want to swallow!
  
  Rich blackberry fruit with a touch of licorice and a dash of spice yet a very well balanced wine from front to back.
  
  Nice garnet color ... had another bottle that we drank several years earlier and I think this was better ... aged well but why wait any longer!
