Almost undrinkable at first: floating sediment, harsh vinegar-like assault on nose and taste buds. But it opened up beautifully after several hours. Had a burgundy texture and roasted vegetable, mineral and floral taste. Long finish. Very unusual and really grew on me over the course of an evening.

Good balance, tastes like a young barolo. Better after an hour or two.

Excellent cab for the price -- just the right amount of oak and vanilla notes and nice peppery sensation.
