Opened two hours in advance. 750ml. bottle, 14,46% Vol., blend with 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass. Full bodied powerful wine. Dark purple color. Black fruit, some spiciness and heat at the end. Long aftertaste. Little bit chewy. Can be drunk now, but some extra time in the cellar would be beneficial to better integrate everything. On the second day everything tasted smoother and better integrated. Realy enjoyable wine.

A deep/dark wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc in the blend give it a great backbone. I hoped this wine would be one that outperforms its price point.....and, that is the case. Some suggest it is too early to try this wine. My experience last night does not support that point of view.
