More french L bank in style vs many CA cabs. Black and some red fruit-current & plum predominant. Has some green & earth elements-bell pepper, leather, charcoal, graphite. Better w/food.

inky deep red color, dark rich plums on the nose, oak a bit raw, showing a little heat, on the palate a grand and sexy cherry and plum fruit, supple tannins, deep and broad palate, exellent length, a touch warm on the tail end but not to the extent suggested by the nose, oak better absorbed on the palate than I often find at this address, viscous and thick, raspberry cream note with time, as modern as it gets but enjoyable and distinctive, as well as lacking the degree of excess I find in some of the other wines.
****+, ready to go but with time in hand

Rich, big but overly alcoholic. Disjointed.

Similar notes apply and a slight downgrade based on previous weekend’s activities.
