My first experience with this bottling - was very surprised at how the American oak stood out so much. I had served it blind and initially got a guess of Rioja, which was telling. Still lots of tannic structure here which bodes well for some more time in the cellar. Very tasty wine now though, richly fruited but with plenty of freshness to carry it along.

Great colour and great density, still a baby, if opened now decant for at least 3 hours as tannins are powerful and need air. Full, rich Cabernet.
