Strong ripe red fruit aroma with a little hint of green pepper. Palate showed strong cherry with some big tannins. Also had a slight smokey taste, but the cherry and tannins overwhelmed most eveything else. Not much in the way of linger. Hopefully shelf life will calm this slightly harsh Cab blend down so other things can come through. Even after a couple hours of decanting, it was still lacking in balance.
