2nd bottle. Promised notes, but didn’t quite get there. Drinking this bottle on Coravin to give it a few days and revisit. An hour in the glass while I put the kids to bed did wonders for this wine.

Bought 3 bottles on auction. First of 3. Still has good structure and tannins. Will probably hold at least one of the others for 5+ years. Wife didn’t even believe it was Cabernet. Very crisp and elegant with forward minerality. Not a fruit bomb, which I liked. Evolved significantly over 2 hours. I slow-ox’d for 45 mins to an hour. Drank over the next 2. Suggest a 1 1/2- 2 hour decant and then enjoy. One note: we enjoyed this with pork rib chops and it was perfect. Maybe not a steak wine (or maybe it is - with a filet or other lean cut, perhaps). Will follow with tasting notes on next bottle.

Really impressive. Aging well, has plenty of life in it. Tannins are still quite tight. Bright fruit with a bit of funk. You can tell this wine has a real Bordeaux bent.
