Mentor Cabernet. Huge. If you like massive jammy then great. Easily take on Napa in terms of weight and opulence. Held together and kept grounded by an electric streak, like a lightning bolt of acidicty electrifying the mid finish. For the price, really impressed - though I drank it for about $250 at Ossiano Dubai. I would posit that this is the highest price in the world paid for this bottle which makes me the (thirsty) idiot that paid it.
Will buy definitely buy some - at the regular price which is a bargain.

Starts off a little brambly with red currant, red licorice, boisenberry, plum, baking spice and maraschino cherry. It displays beautiful balance with nice acidity and a plush mouth feel. A real treat to drink. Two thumbs up!

Always as impressive. Juicy, full of fruits, minty, spicy and with a great balance. The wine evolved for a few hours in the decanter. Complex and and highly enjoyable.
