Too big, overblown and jammy fruit. Smoky, raisiny fruit overwhelms and dominates the palate. Spicy on the finish with leather, tar but finish can't stand up to over extracted fruit on the front.

SIGHT: Clear, bright, medium garnet with layers of salmon to bright orange meniscus. Medium+ concentration and viscocity. NOSE: clean, cassis, spice, bramble, blackberry, blueberry, huckleberry, raspberry, cedar, dill. PALATE: dry, blackberry, cassis, leather, tobacco, licorice. ASSESSMENT: Medium alcohol, medium to medium+ acidity. Medium+ tannins, Medium to medium+ complexity. Medium+ finish. Tannins still pretty heavy, but it's drinking really well right now.

This was consumed during a night with many different cabs so no specific notes or score. I had expected this to a be a little more fruit forward but it seemed to be a little muted. It's possible that I had some palate fatigue. It didn't wow but nothing much to complain about either.

Good fruit, light tannins for a cab but good body with nice finish.
