Monday, January 24, 2011 - I expected more from this one. It was 'typical' as a Cabernet, but just not boat rocking. Black cassis driven nose and mouth with cola, black cherry and black raspberry. What was missing was depth and sense of presence. Alongside a 2006 Realm Farella, this lacked structure, class and breed.
Don't get me wrong, I did not throw it out of bed, but I also did not stare admiringly at it as it left the bed.
Expectations can be problematic.
