Big, full bodied, young Cab. I was very surprised at how young this wine was. The nose was full of tar, tobacco, chocolate with secondary aromas of dark fruit and currents. This wine had a nice mouth feel, however some heat was detected, full bodied on the palate with a dry tannic finish.
I was expecting this wine to be well integrated and ready to drink, but honestly it may need 3-5 more years. This wine has the potential to be a 91-92 pointer, but its not there yet.
