  Très belle surprise!
  Encore beaucoup de profondeur à l’oeil, avec une amorce orangée à l’aureole.
  Les nez est de projection moyenne-forte, mélangeant fruits mûrs, vanille fondue, boisé intégré, fumée, végétal sans être vraiment « vert », terreux, feuilles mortes, très beau...
  Et la bouche suit, homogène, avec un tanin qui démontre encore beaucoup d’energie, ce qui nous a surpris, une belle acidité, très belle longueur, amertume modérée, délicieux.

  Well made Cabernet - very good value. Drink-up as its on it way down. Good wine to follow with a classified bordeaux.

  highly perfumed raspberry jam nose with just a bit of funky earth. lean texture but appropriately balanced on the palate. wouldn't hold this too much longer but will definitely pick up any remaining bottles in the barg'n bin and drink before this summer.

  South American and American Wines; 12/6/2009-12/7/2009 (Wine Gallery): Exotic perfumed violets and cedar wood. Well structured cabernet fruit, well delineated as well. Classical finish. Not bad at all.

  Classic fruit, varietally correct. Some green-ness to it, little bit of funk, but fleshed out nicely over the course of a couple hours and a nice departure from the fruit-bomb napa cabs.
