This is a special bottle of wine. Rich, opulent, cashmere like in texture, it features dark fruit and fig flavors magically integrated with saddle. Just silky and supple with layer upon layer of dimension. Midas touch here, imho.

Properly stored bottle since release. Noticeable Alc heat ruined the enjoyment. Not my cup o' tea. I don't even know whether cedar oak and alcohol will subside in another decade. NR

Decanted for 3 hours. Cork crumbled. Predominately Cabernet Sauvignon with about 30% Malbec. After a few hours it was hitting on all cylinders with fine tannins and an incredibly long extracted finish. It has an almost liqueur like palate of cassis, vanilla, blue/black fruits, and toasted oak. Has 5 more years peak drinking to go.

Massive black fruit in an ultra modern style with lots of dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee throughout with sweet baking spice. Lots of new oak with huge spice, clearly on the warm side, but enough substance and structure to retain balance.
