Potent nose of cherry cola or liquorice with a bit of wood, smoke and spice. Not well integrated on the palate. Bitter tannin not in balance. I expected a bit more elegance. These just arrived and noticeable sediment, so will try again once they have settled.

As with my previous note from 2011 : Nice well balanced Cab. Balanced with dark chocolate and cherry on the nose, and pepper with a good finish on the palate. Very enjoyable, should age well in the upcoming years. The wine is still holding fine, the pepper is not quite as pronounced as the previous tasting. Integration is occurring, will be interesting to see what 2013 brings for the next bottle!

Much better on the second night. I recommend a slow-ox for a few hours.

Easy drinker, reminds me of a merlot. Big fruit, small nose, light oak.
