  Ripe and cooked "sweet" blackberry, black plum, black cherry, vanilla, charred wood, espresso, baking spice, and developing tertiary with prune, dried red cherry, and molasses. 35% primary, 65% tertiary. Massive concentration, extraction. M+ acid. High tannin with a thick silky texture. Full body. M+ aromatic intensity. Pronounced flavor intensity. Long finish. Inky ruby color. Outstanding. With air, it's becoming a little Amarone-like. I probably would have enjoyed it even more a year earlier.

  Damn this ‘19 Kamen is tasting so fine tonight. Opulent and rich blackberry notes, chocolate covered dark cherries, spearmint, coffee grounds, coffee liqueur, crushed rocks, subtle vanilla and dark chocolate. Awesome acidic structure, ripe tannins on long finish.

  Coravined a big glass. My first ‘19 Kamen MM Cab at home. So seductive and so sexy. Riding the plushiest dark fruited quilt. Hints of eucalyptus, mint, dust, chocolate and baking spices. Juicy acidity and silky tannins on long finish.

  My first '19. I have been fortunate to have every vintage of Kamen going back to 2003. This one is up there with 2016 and 2018 vintages (2013 vintage is still my favorite from Kamen). Could still benefit from some more time in the bottle. If drinking now, I recommend at least a 2 hour decant.
