Touch better than the last bottle. Lots of flavors and the longer it was breathed, the more complex it became with The Cabernet coming to the forefront. Hard to believe that this is the entry level red from Delectus.

And I'm stretching the score a tad ... she definitely didn't care for it. I used an electronic aerifier. A little better the second day. Dark garnet in the glass with dark fruit (dark plum and blackberry) and a little vanilla on the nose and palate. Disjointed, not smooth and residual heat in the mouth. Not sure what to do, but I think I'll wait awhile before drinking the other two bottles. Definitely open up and decant a couple of hours before drinking ... hopefully it'll open up. There's potential in the fruit there.

Lots of flavor with the Cabernet dominating. But, I think a little more Cab would have balanced everything out more. Probably needs another year before drinking.

As per my previous notes ... nothing to jump up and around about this wine ... overrated?

Better than the last bottle, but with Delectus, I'm expecting more. Probably won't order this lot again.
