Thursday, December 18, 2014 - Blind, and had as a new world (Cali.?) cab.
Nose showed some herbs, sweet dark fruit, with typical Cabernet Sauvignon profile.
Alcohol heat, some unpleasant glue, acetone and solvent.
(Not the fine Piemontese Nebbiolo type of glue and acetone, but much more industrial and chemical)
On the palate this feels slightly unbalanced, but still fine taste of cassis, black currant, darker fruit, with alcohol heat and high viscosity.
Rather mature, with a medium finish.
Not completely in balance, with the alcohol taking overhand.
(88 – 90 P)
