Nose is deep, dark, and brooding with plum, cassis, and blackberry headlining oak and baking spice accents. Similar flavors, with tannins like an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove. Finished long but a bit hot. This wine is great now but has potential to sit down for 15 more years if you want it to.

Decanted >1 hour. On the nose, the wine has deep red color with hints of smoke wood and to a lesser extent, fresh flowers. In the mouth, lovely red fruit and a nice "cabbi" flavor, not overwhelming. Black licorice, leather and earth. Not a high tannic wine and very smooth on the finish. This isn't an over the top cab but very delightful and drinking very nicely right now.

Another superb offering from Kontos. Taste is bold and out there. I feel day 2 was better than day 1. My 7th year of drinking their wines. Never a let down.
