Deep dark red center, red rim with some modest signs of age. Sweet, intense freshly crushed blackberries and blackcurrants. Great fruit, blackberries and blackcurrants, black olives, a little creamy, pencil shavings, good acidity and some tannin, oak is very well integrated, alcohol is also in check (but stated at 14.8%), great finish. Excellent Cabernet, definitely more of a higher octane Napa cab, a bit extracted for me, but still very well done. Good now, probably wouldn't keep too much longer given the stated alcohol.

Classic Cabernet. Very flavorful. Went well with thick cut lamb chops, roast vegetables, salad, and homemade pita. Perhaps a little young still, but it opened up nicely after an hour in a decanter. Very rich fruit but not a “fruit bomb.” Mix of fruit, green herbs, amd mineral. Medium tannins. Long, lovely finish.

Very good smoothness and taste. Might have been a touch better if I drank it a year earlier

Pnp, drank over 1 hour. Rich, full, sweet fruit, surprisingly smooth for 5 years. Enjoy now or hold.
