Monday, January 15, 2018 - First time with Roy's wine...open in bottle for an hour...dark and extracted red berry color...WONDERFUL nose of kirsch liqueur, dusty white pepper, blueberry pie, red licorice. Surprisingly not as tannic and dry as I thought it would be for such a young cab...has a nice softness and silky feel, very inviting and graceful. Yet with subsequent sips, firm dusty dry tannins flex their muscle, showing a great structure to support the ripe liqueured berry fruit. The fruit is pure and amazing...you can taste the very high standards to quality that you see in Roy's vids! Complexities of chocolate covered blueberries, cedar spice box, cherry vanilla cordials, licorice, slight green tobacco leaf, crushed earth. Perfectly ripe fruit, with the right amount of sweetness to dryness. This is world class Cabernet here...and seeing the passion that Roy has in his videos, and the VERY informative information in the winemaking process...it translates to the glass, and makes drinking this wine that much more special! Bravo!!
