June 21, 2023 - Consistent with earlier tasting - more new world style like a big Australian Syrah with its complex concentrated forward fruits, almost obtuse when compared to the Chave, dark inky purple with blackberry and black raspberry fruits highlighted by notes of spice, cassis, currants, mocha and hints of black olive.

April 30, 2022 - Delicious on opening and improving with just a bit of time in the glass. Sweet fruit on the nose, but not sweet at all to taste. Nice fruit of currant and berries on the front. Slightly tart and some tannin in the finish, but soft. More new world than old in style. Nice round mouth feel.
Beautiful deep crimson / purple as expected of a full bodied cab.
I have two bottles left, and will drink them sooner than later. Enjoying this very much now. -
