  I seldom drink Cabernet anymore and when I do it’s seldom this young. I thought this would go well with the pork stew concoction I made though. This was young and fresh, black olives, tar and black fruits on the palate. Nose showed bright cassis. I’ve always liked middle aged cab as it is not as delicate as old cab and not as big and bold as young. This clearly more on the young side of that spectrum but good.

  From a half bottle. A strong, decently complex nose of blackcurrant, black licorice, sweet tobacco and spices pleases the senses, as do the initial impressions of the round, fruit forward body. However, diminishing returns as the body more evaporates than finishes.
  
  If paired appropriately, such as with a grilled rare to medium-rare half-pound burger, this wine is very, very nice!!

  Lovely Cab, red cherry and chocolate dominate.

  This seemed like a good wine for the money - I served it outdoors in 50 degree weather. The wine was room temperature so it was cold and hard to taste. Full Body, good color, mouth feel was good, fruit tasted like plum and berries.

  There is purity of ultra ripe red and blue fruits in the core, surrounded by white pepper and toasted sweet spices. Palate is rich and spicy with all the sweet fruits, tobacco leave and spices from the nose. The fresh acidity came in towards the end of the full-bodied palate to provide some lift. Finish is hot and hollow with a touch of bitter tannins. Too spicy for my taste. An hour of decanting and drink it slightly cooler will bring about better balance.
