The wine has flavor of Blackberry, plum and raspberry along with dark chocolate and a touch of coffee that show in layers. The middle is big and heavy, and smooth in texture. The finish shows the dark fruits with a smooth, medium and dry tannin. The wine still has structure to develop more.

A group brought in several wines for an informal tasting and this was one of them. The Cab was decanted and open an hour before I got to it and the nose was big, bold, perfumery and intoxicating like opium. The color in the glass is a deep blue purple and presents itself as a very young wine. The palate is even bigger than the nose and is filled with cassis, deep ripe blackberry, mushroom, tobacco, and black cherry. This is a massive mouth full of Cabernet that has had 7 years so far to age. There's an unusual mint tone in the back end that reminds me of the flavor of oregano (without the smell), or maybe a heavy licorice note that lingers in the back of the finish that is agreeable. It's a massive big ass Cab that leaves a lasting memory for sure and stands out from the rest. I consider myself lucky that we had a positive experience because the notes below are concerning and might indicate a lot of bottle variance

This bottle was similar to the last, but more fruit is showing. Still remaining big and firm and an easy drinking wine.

Great nose, silky tannins, long acid finish. A little alcohol on the finish
