Initially some River rock and minerals on the nose as it opened more clove and Christmas spice. A little closed although the palate is very silky. So much potential just needs time to unwind.

Deep ruby. Powerful aromas with some age of vegetal, black cherry, and cedar. Dry, medium-full body, crisp acidity, high hard tannins, moderate flavors of black currant, black cherry, and asphalt. This was way too young.

I've been a Robin's Nest member for about 4 years now. J Daniel is pretty consistent bottling year in and out. This was no different. Plush and polished. Dark fruit, licorice and notes of tobacco spice. No sharp edges for such a young wine.

Really rich cabernet fruit character, and on the palate as well. Just opened and certainly all the stuffing is there, just needs to ease in.
