Very good, but not quite excellent. Required aeration and a few minutes of swirling to fully open up. Nice smoky nose; the fruit definitely took a backseat there. Medium-to-heavy body with a fair bit of currant and earth tones, with a good "smoked" quality to it after it had opened up for us.
Bought this as a gift with one to drink and one to send home with them; would definitely do this again.

It has nice tannins. It has hints of Chocolate. It has a nice finish and it opens up nicely. It also has nice legs

Wow. Disappointed. Expecting typical Oak dominated Cab. Not that. Mineral, terroir driven? Not that. Not after DP and Chateau St. Jean.

Not sweet at all. Maybe a little acidic. Smooth finish but a bit of an aftertaste.
