I am always a fan of Secret Squirrel. This Cab starts with cherries and cassis. There is a green pepper or stem note in the middle and then it finishes with a vanilla coffee note and a long finish. Sooo good for $22.

Decanted several hours before drinking. Starts with lots of black flavors such as black licorice, black tea and graphite. Moves on to sweeter chocolate and vanilla. Medium finish, smooth tannins and not as powerful as many Penfolds. Interesting blend of Cab Sauv and Shiraz. Would drink again.
