PnP. This has mellowed since 2017, a little less acid, tannins coming forward, overall more interesting. Chocolate, leaf tobacco, tar nose. Palate adds cassis fruit, a little berry, white pepper heat, fading into more cooked berry and stone fruit on the finish. We managed to avoid finishing it, looking forward to trying again tomorrow.

From sketchy notes taken at the winery. Complex nose of dirt, cassis, tar. Palate surprising, quite tart, very mild fine tannins, lots of blackberry and cassis fruit, relatively short finish. Very atypical cab - interesting, pleasant, maybe not for long cellaring though? Hard to say - still very young.
