  Initially on opening, this is rather dense clunky stuff. Took a good hour to open up and smooth out to a rather fruit driven, smooth velvety crowd pleasing sorta cab.

  One of the best wines, for my palate, that I’ve had. Velvety is the first word that comes to mind to both my wife and to me. Tremendously balanced. Perfect light tannins. Complex. So much going on. One of the very few higher priced wines we felt was worth the cost.

  Decanted 30 min, very nice fruit, smooth integrated, not too sweet. Based on this bottle ready for action but should hold for a few more years, this bottle has been in my cellar since 4/14.

  Very deep red colour. Not much of a bouquet but very complex and wonderful flavour profile. Dark plums and cherry notes. Slight floral tones and also a little bit of leather. Tannins have really softened and finish is very light. Great for drinking now. Poured the glasses and let them sit for about half an hour.
