  WSET Foundation - Evening 1 (WSET School London): A very rich dark ruby colour, totally opaque. Very spicy & peppery on the nose, almost overpowering the fruit. Palate showed the cassis fuit, with a slight leathery note, but really overpowered by lots of new oak. Tannic on the finish - this will probably last another few years

  Drank with Girlfriend's family in Grandma's birthday. No wine glass provided in the restaurant, thus this couldnt be considered as 100% trustworthy.
  
  General Impression: Very youthful. Just a very normal and typical wine with single oriented, not much in changing. Couldn't impress myself to buy this again.
  
  Palate: Intense and powerful. Big tannins at the begining, become soft in an hour later. Typical new world Cabernet Sauvignon with blackcurrants and hints of herbs. Stong taste of cheddar afterwards. Medium finish.

  High intensity aromas featuring cassis, earth, cedar, and black fruits. Chalky tannins on a full-bodied frame with dark fruits and underlying hints of cassis & oak on the palate. Mouth-watering acids and a long, smooth finish.
