Pop and pour this was tight new world fruit on the nose with an acid- and tannin-driven old world palate.
Two hours of decanting reveal luscious dark fruits, chocolate, coffee and graphite and a round, balanced Cab palate approaching perfection. Earthy and oaky. Hanger steak au poivre and chocolate for dessert. This is at its peak and should be approached soon.

Most recent tasting notes capture (no pun intended) the wine profile and tasting notes. First of seven I bought and enjoyed this wine a lot. Smooth and integrated tannins with a wonderful note took about 30 minutes for this wine to reveal itself. Enjoyable and glad i still have half a case to enjoy over the next few years.

Lovely wine that we enjoyed on its own after dinner . Fully mature, it still was deep purple with no bricking. Nose of cassis and smoked tea. Body was round dark fruit with resolved tannins and enough acid for balance Long finish It probably can cellar longer but it was drinking in its moment. Enjoy. FYI I have a cold natural cellar so my wines age slowly. I had this as a drink by 2022.

Aged well, and ready to go. Tannins are soft & smooth. Minimal sediment. Slightly elevated, but well integrated acidity is what’s keeping it in a good spot. Don’t wait much longer on these.

Ready to drink with minimal decanting needed. Peak of lusciousness.
