  November 14, 2010 - Nose: Dark fruits including Black Cherry, Blackberry and Plum are very prominent with new oak, chocolate, and violets showing as well. Perfumed quality to the nose that shows sweet tanin and just a hint of alcohol. Palate: Very nice weight after vinturi. This is so silky it is incredible. Dark Cherry, Plum and some raspberry notes show with hints of bakers chocolate, eucalyptus, graphite are in the background. Great midpalate. Finish: Over 45 seconds in the mouth finishing with a complex array of flavors. Leaves a velvety smooth coating on the palate with round tanins that do not overpower.
  
  Tasted at the Cliff Lede Winery over the weekend. This was a spectacular cabernet just after opening, and i can imagine it will evolve very nicely when it has been decanted 3-6 hours.
