This is a skyscraper wine, big full bodied mouthfeel. Def a big step up over the estate cab in my opinion. Tons of fruit and oak. One of my favorites of a great vintage. Give it a good 2 hour decant before breaking into it.

You'll immediately notice the blueberry and granite nose oozing out of the glass. The first sip seemed hopeful...then wham!! Immediate thoughts..regret...why did I open this so early? It's all there, blackberries, cherries, cassis, cedar and a hint of chocolate. Dense, opaque and signs of complexity, but everything, I mean EVERYTHING was holding back. The next one won't see light for a minimum of 5 years. I can see why RP gave this 100pt, just not ready yet..

Good not great. Will be waiting on the rest. The Estate Cab is nice and see little upgrade as of today on the RESERVE.
