[NB 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc.] Decanted 1 hour. Deep red with light paling to orange rim. Intense nose with ripe blackcurrants, violets, sweet spice with some pepperyness, salinity and rosemary. Palate is rich, round - very intense with extra long persistence. Clear fine tannins, providing a good grip and texture, plenty of fresh acidity with blackcurrants, plenty of aniseed & rosemary (including stalks) on the aftertaste. Still showing primary flavours not having moved through to secondary notes. Continuing to open up in the glass - suggest longer decant. An excellent wine, quite young really with plenty of years ahead. A real gem. Drink now-2040.

@ Capital Grille Midtown NYC. Decanted for about an hour and followed over 2. So much cedar, cigar box goodness. Jammy and broody with a lengthy, clingy finish and enough power to stand up to 20 oz of medium-rare Ribeye. Classic HB.

Brilliant wine. Didnt give much away first hour, nose and palate began to open into a lovely and deep delicious plethora of dark fruits with good earthy mineral backbone … became unctuous liquid gold at the 3 hour mark. Decant!! Soo good.

Tasted blind. I would have sworn this was from Saint-Emilion on the basis of its cool, chalky minerality. Rich ripe fruit almost covers the tannins, big and structured but not pushed too far, spices and tobacco. Needs another ten years.

An elegant and whisper smooth profile for a mature but not overly aged HB. Plenty left and an easy choice for a Denver steak evening.
