Terrific Cabernet blend. Mature, deep burgundy color. Reich smoky fruit with plenty of backbone. Very comparable to a fine Left Ban Bordeaux from the same vintage. Great QPR.

Drank absolutely beautifully on the first night. But after VacuVin, it had fallen off a cliff by Night Two. So my advice would be to PnP this and drink up!

Full-bodied, deep garnet and opaque, aromas reserved at first then opened with mostly black fruits. Good concentration on the palate, moderate but soft tannins, not very complex.An excellent wine but overpriced.

Popped and poured. This is a solid red wine that brings tongue-staining concentration and some modest sediment toward the end of the bottle. On the nose, I get chocolate-covered cherries, plum, mint, and espresso. In the mouth, this is plush and loaded with sweet fruit. The soft finish hangs on for 25+ seconds. Overall, this is a solid red blend that is holding strong. 90 points.
