Cork. Decanted for 1 hr. Classic New World varietal Cabernet on the nose - blackcurrant leaves, cedar/oak and a bit of vanilla. Blackcurrant is dominant on the mouth, quite grassy on the finish - a bit green overall which felt a bit at odds with the oak. Not a bad wine by any means but easily surpassed by other wines at the price in my opinion. 82pts.

We had this at a brilliant French restaurant in San Jose, Costa Rica. Great qpr. California-style cabernet, grapey and heavy on the oak. Drank well over a couple of hours.
