Bitter, thin, watery quick finish Even at the modest price of $21 I'd expect a bit better Second day: A bit better....although we previously let it open and breathe for quite some time. Anyway, I would increase my rating from 83 up to 87. But again, it is an okay simple cab - no big deal.

Bright reddish purple. Decanted just before drinking. Lovely aromas of dark fruit and cocoa. Very smooth, with intense blackcurrants and black cherries rounded out by dark chocolate and an almost creamy vanilla oak quality. Tannins already very well integrated and this Cab also provides a good long finish. Most enjoyable with braised duck and mustard dressed puy lentils.

Pop and pour, although I did decant it straight away. I wanted to use my new Riadel decanter. Needs food, the first mouthful was a bit austere, but the a gorgeous big cab with a long finish.

Opened and decanted two hours prior. A big chocolate box pact full off fruity flavour with a long finish. Will keep but lovely now.
