Somewhat unbalanced for being too fruit forward for my tastes. Full bodied with a long grapey finish. Might tone down with cellaring but this bottle was a gift and the only one I have tried at $200 a bottle, I’m unlikely to get any more. Then my wife and son both like this characteristic; a lot. Maybe I’ll spring for a few bottles for later, much later.

Deep red colour. Starts with herbaceous and floral notes then follows with strong mint tones. Tannins show through and finishes nicely. The body isn't too full or strong. Nice bottle as it stands out as different from other Cabernets.
Perfect....unreal.. deep, dark red/black with purple hues. Lovely aromatics of black fruit, chocolate, mocca and berries that draw you into the wine. Lovely solid entry with “Gobs” of firm, balanced tannin. Rich fruit weight that is a “class above” and supported by an amalgam of French oak flavors of vanilla, toasty oak and spice. A huge palate that just keeps going and going. A true classic
