Not super thrilled about this. Nice fruity aroma, but too tannic for my taste. The tannins softened with time and went fairly well with food. But it also had some vinegary flavors, and chunky sediment. It suggests that this is not aging that well. FWIW it has a synthetic cork.

not nearly as good as the 2010. A bit sweet for my taste but seamless tannin that glide across the palate. nice daily drinker. might leave the 2nd one for a few more years

Menu decanted to soften tannins. Red and black fruit on the nose. Palate was both fruity and tart. This was OK for me, but my wife did not enjoy. Good color and medium long finish.

This is a well made wine, but not entirely to my taste. To its credit, it develops some more character with several hours of air - it actually seemed to become more tannic, rather than the smooth and purely dark-fruited wine that it is right out of the bottle. But overall, this wine reinforced the fact that new world Cabernet is just not my bag.

Similar to my prior notes (red and black fruit, oak, mild tannins, etc). Well crafted and drinking well now.
