Starts off with a funky earthiness, bordering barnyard qualities. The fruit hides behind massive tannins, with a minerality component on the mid palate. This needs time to settle down. Tasted blind and thought it was a Bordeaux. Hopefully it will all come together over time.

Specialty Tasting: Not as ripe as the other two cabs in this flight. Cooler fruit. The structure holds the fruit and tannins up well. Very nice bottle, and worth the cost of entry. 87-88
