Opened 3 hours before dinner, this was all plum on the nose. The color was deep violet. The palate was all plum and cherry, with a hint of chocolate at the finish. Excellent.

A very nice, medium body, and rather chewy Cabernet. Lots of dark red fruit, ripe peaches, dark cherries, plum paste, black figs. New leather, anise, hint of cacao. Really at a good spot now. Totally happy with this one. Glad that I have 10 bottles or so left.

The last of the 4 that I purchased is sitting in my storage, and calling me, but I cant let go! It is that good, with fragrance of autumn leaves, leather, dark fruit and the chewy and round mouthfeel, Looking to see what vintage to order next, once I drink the 2011.

Similar service and profiles as my notes dated 8-29-22 and 11-30-21. Really drinking well, especially given the less-than-stellar vintage!

Cellared since release. Drinking beautifully with only brief decant in glass.
