Medium dark purple with elderberry nose. Dry with good acid focus, medium restrained fruit of tart cherries, black currants and elderberries. Not your typical full-bodied cab, much more bright fruited, lighter bodied with some graphite, pencil lead tannins. Drinking more like a bodlish pinot at this stage with 10 years of age. Pretty likable for a cheap wine.

Dark purple, cassis, cherry nose. Dry with vegetable notes, green pepper, okra. Medium fruit and body, tart smooth tannins, drinking well with a good balance. Has benefited from ten years of age. Showing some green blackberry tannins on the finish. Unbelievably good for the cheap price, so if you have any in the cellar, drink and enjoy.
