Mellow, integrated, smooth, polished tannins. Good on PnP but continued to improve with air. An elegant cabernet with bright red fruit, bright acidity. Paired well with beef meatballs in a garlic mushroom cream sauce.
This hit the spot tonight.

Unfortunately this was the last of my 8 bottles and wow has this improved in the last year (from 88 to 92 for me). Great nose, pleasant mouth feel and taste. The finish was lacking slightly but hard to find fault here.

Rich, powerful and delicious. Big and bold with plenty of time left. Well integrated alcohol and tannins and well balanced. A phenomenal wine that's drinking very well in April 2014 but seems also to have a long future. Outstanding!

Fee purple almost opaque. Not a big nose but dark berry and leather detected. Tasting dark berries and coffee with smooth tannins. A good drinking wine. Would buy different vintages. This one is high on value vs taste scale.

Rich and intense. A very ripe wine. Ripe black fruit. It almost dominated a grilled ribeye. Good but in your face.
