13.9% alcohol; real cork, which broke in two during opening and made a crumbly mess; heavy-weight foil; opened, not vinturied, and kept in fridge for 24 hours without cork before tasting, at approximately 16 degrees C; a whiff of the cork promised a wine made from high-quality grapes; nose of yeast, veggies, minerals, cassis; the full-bodied wine showed a rush of tannins upfront, but the tannins were later balanced by fruitiness, sourness & minerality. Cassis, dark stone fruit and dark berries asserted themselves toward the back of the tongue and in the medium to long finish; pair with red meat -- we had Swedish meat balls with potato salad

Very enjoyable Cabernet. Needed food to show at its best but with food, truly pleasant.

Really nice and in a great window if you like mature and mellowed wine.

Waited too long to drink. This wine is spent. Nose is still decent, but that’s about all. All the fruit is gone.
