What a fabulous wine. Concentrated, tight Cabernet flavors with just enough tannin left to give it a big backbone. One of the very best I've had this year.

As soon as I popped the cork on this, it was immediately aromatic, filling the kitchen with the aroma of the wine. Smells nice, pretty typical for cab but more deeply fruited. On the palate the wine has a medium-to-heavy weight, dark fruited again, with lower acid and tannin strength. Smooth transitions from entry to finish. Some alcohol does show in the finish, while distracting on the first sips, as you get half-way or so through your glass, you don't notice. Overall this was a nice wine which was drinking nicely. My girlfriend who has a hard time with high acidity in wines really liked this wine a lot.

Simply a superb wine. Great nose. Lots of tannin. Lots of alcohol. Benefits from decanting. Should keep many more years.

Good vanilla and other oak notes, big fruit. Not especially long finish. Paired well with a nice sous vide ribeye.
