  Deep dark red, somewhat reticent nose but good earthy cabernet nose (hints of cassis and graphite). Opened up a little after a day. Still a little closed in the mouth - maybe will benefit from another year or two in bottle.

  This Cab blend is soft, juicy & satisfying.
  
  On the nose, I find a ripe core of blackberry & blueberry - enhanced by malted & cocoa notes...from the obvious barrel aging.
  
  However, it is the Petit Verdot on this finish that does it for me. Love that earthy element - it left a lasting impression.
  
  Remarkable complexity with a solid balance of power & elegance.

  Nice balanced red. Not overly tannic
