Deep and powerful. I tend to like this Chateau, and this was a very good example. Penetrating, has a slightly smoky aspect that is welcome.

Prince - Cabernets of the world (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): Plums, blackcurrant, biscuit, sweet spice, slight red berry here as well as a little leafiness. Juicy, plentiful slightly coarse tannins prove drying, plums, blackcurrant, cream, sweet spice in support. Okay.

Shutting down a bit. Splash decanted and shit showing the rather plush back fruits, but now seeing chunky austere tannins that are much more pronounced on the palate and finish. Delicious upon entry--structure really showing on the back end. Debating holding my last 2 bottles or drinking now.

Nose: Cigar box, thick cassis, cedar spice; cinnamon; with time, a tar-like anise emerges. Palate: Lean; a mingling of wood and chalky mildly tart dark plum; quite spicy (black pepper sensation but not flavor) with sinewy tannins that leaves a "hot" flavor of dried-out wood. While not super enjoyable now, I think time in the cellar will help this come together in a positive way; with time in the glass, there is a strong wood souring effect that becomes a bit distracting.
