Very linear. Shallow and just showing some youth and red fruit. Not much too this. Hot finish with mild tannins that don't do much for me. Decent for the middle of the week but nothing special.

Hot finish. Tools while to open up. Mouth coating tannins. Not as balanced or complex as I like. The black fruit faded and while their was some tobacco and coffee there was not not enough to balance it out. Moderate finish to go as well.

Really enjoyed the initial taste. Let it sit in the decanter for a few hrs & it really lost something. Now it was still a good cab but it was much better out if the bottle. The wine seemed to tighten & get a bit more harsh. The tannins were present but not overbearing but it was a bit sharp for me as well. Ill open another in a year & try it again. Still nice but not better than atlas peak which is half the price.

Balanced but without a bite. Too quick of a finish. Not what I hoped for the price.
