New at MLCC. Not a big fan, seems somewhat artifical and a little much sugar for me. The nose is dark plumy fruit with some underlying oak. The palate has a moderate level of acid and light smooth tannin. Get a hit of dark fruit and plum notes that has some sweet, juice like qualities. There is light vegetal ?eucalyptus notes that come out during finish. Not bad. Interesting in some respects. Will try after 24 hrs.

This is a very decent cab at a reasonable price. At this stage it needs a few hours decant to show its best. Smooth, good concentration of fruit and very drinkable. Worth keeping a few bottles in the cellar to see how it evolves.
