Good but going to hold off on my final bottle for at least 5 years. Dark fruits, with intense herbal characteristics (green bell pepper, menthol). Alcohol feels slightly high and needs more time to better integrate.

Spectacular, decanted for on hour and drank over the next 2 with a friend and Argentinian churrasco. Bold, long finish with dark fruits and tabaco. Highly recommended.

Three hour decant. Deep, dark magenta color. Creamy milk chocolate, black cherry, black tea, mint leaf and açaí on the nose. Smooth, velvety palate. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
This is a well made wine, but could have had more depth/complexity. It was still a very enjoyable wine to have for my birthday. We are drinking through the 2013 set of AO single vineyard Cabernet (one each year) and this is Year 2.

Luscious in texture, dark in color, and loaded with ripe, deep, dark, black fruits are complicated by a slight citrus note in the background. There is sweetness, concentration and intensity. The round tannins, freshness and ripe fruits create a wine with a solid depth of flavor that can be popped young, or aged for secondary nuances.
