I liked this, which for cabernet sauvignon isn't much of an endorsement. Pretty simple, fruit forward. The black fruit seems to bury the tannins. Lightly oaked. But unlike most young cabernet sauvignon it won't clash with the food. The fruitiness makes it more food friendly than a young, tannic cab.

Its been a long time since I have had this one. Its apperently 24% cabernet franc. And that shows through. Floral, lively aromatics. Either MAN Vintners SA cab is showing through or this is just a bit stemmed up. Fun.

Fruity, one-dimensional Cabernet, not nearly as interesting or robust as the 2005 vintage. Ok, but nothing memorable.
