  Delicious. Still powerfully youthful. Still predominantly black fruits of plum and blackberrythe. But earth and bricks and stone add pleasant weight. The finish is medium long soft strong tannin with roses on the end mixed with a faint touch of vanilla. I'd like to get to know her better a few more times, but alas this was my only bottle. Farewell sweet lass.

  100% Cabernet. 70% new oak, 22 months barrel, at least 1 year in bottle. Nose is gorgeous, showing age a hint, cedar, touch of graphite, dark blackberry, cassis. Palate gives layers on layers of dark fruit, blackberry, black plum, baking spice, cedar again, fresh cigar box, medium plus finish, tannins give structure, acidity is there trying to keep up, this a big boy but also elegant. Pretty delicious stuff, which it should be for the price point.
