P&P, drunk over two days. at the opening, the nose is impaired by notes of ashes which have- thankfully - disappeared after 30 mins in the glass. now, beautiful notes of dark berries, a little bit of leather. it got more intense and more opulent with the air. the palate on the first day was not fully integrated, with slightly rough edges. on the second day the palate has fully blossomed, luscious but fresh and a lingering on mineral notes. really lovely.

Tasted this Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder along with similar wines from Howell Mountain and Oakville. Of the 3, the Howell was the most powerful and the Oakville was the most lush. But this Hess was a fine wine throughout with ample fruit, acidity, tannin, and richness, ending with an impressive finish.

Deep purple, medium body, mild aromas of of black raspberry and cassis, soft flavors of black fruit and cassis, mild oak and muddy earth, decent tannins and acid, medium finish, a pleasant old world style aged wine and a great, if not spectacular, aged wine for older world palates. Drink soon or forever hold your enjoyment.

Un vino super elegante y con una gran evolución.
Tiene notas ahumadas, a tabaco, mermelada de frutas negras e higos.
En boca tiene taninos sedosos, es amplio y con final largo. Me encantó!
