Not too bad based on price to value point. Big and bold and very youthful. Black fruits, cassis, vanilla. High tannin and long finish. Tannin is still tight and harsh. Decanting the bottle will certainly help in a way to soften the tannin.

2nd bottle of this Wineaccess offering and been about 7 months since the first bottle, so I feel compelled to score again.
Pnp'd the first night, back in the fridge under cork for night 2, and again for tonight, night 3.
First night......notes pretty much as with the first bottle, an 88 to start. Thin, red fruited and pretty basic as far as cab goes.
Second night.....better, darker, richer feeling to the fruit. Still a pretty basic cab but an 89.
Third night.....beautiful dark ruby red in the glass. A little cedar/oak component on the nose with a slight floral component. Maybe a point better the 3rd night, a 90. Not sure if it gets any better with more bottle age or more air? Just a pretty basic cab at a pretty basic price.

Nothing new to report on this, just a lot more sediment in this bottle. Nice basic cab. Not scoring since I've done a few before.
