  Very savory, leathery and meaty but elegant texture.

  Oak dominating the nose a bit upon opening: dill, vanilla and mocha coming through. With time in the decanter the ripe dark fruit starts to shine more and more. Cherries, cassis and some graphite.
  Full bodied, smooth and pretty balanced by the acidity. Ripe dark berry fruit bordering raisiny. Plentiful oak here as well. Good balance otherwise and long on the finish.
  With ox sirloin the oak really stepped aside and the (beautiful!) CS pushed through with classy cassis to pencil shavings character. Very nice pairing! Otherwise I wouldn't bother with such a modern approach.

  2013 Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri tour (Union Station, Chicago, IL): Nose: There is a decent amount of oak that strikes right off the bat along with tones of dark red fruits, wood spices, cherries, and some bits of berries.
  
  Taste: Full bodied with chewy tannins that feel more like wood tannins. The oak is very noticeable on the palate along with tones of dark red fruits, wood spices, and some dark berries.
  
  Overall: This was showing a a decent bit of oak. The feel is very good and the tones are balanced, but the oak is there just a bit too much.
