Une robe dense avec des reflets pourpres. Un nez de cuir, de cassis, moka, bois (trop) et de la menthe. Une bouche sur le bois avec des tanins secs. Trop jeune ? Trop de bois ? Pas trop mon genre ?

Started out assuming this was mostly cab and discovered it was mainly malbec. Cab spiciness comes through in the nose, but this is heavier in body and the taste feels more like a blend. This was perfect with prime rib.

Second bottle tried, this one with a 4-hour decant, which I would say is minimum at this point in its life. As it opens, the blend plays through very nicely and makes this a pleasure to drink. Am going to be more patient with this and not touch for another 12-18 months. Paired with a chipotle chili pork and was excellent, which tells me this is a go-to with spicier dishes.
