What more can you want in a Cabernet Sauvignon? My 3rd bottle in 7 years, had a better cork and fill level than the first two with not a hint of amber color but clear with a lovely garnet hue. Open/changing over an hour and showing violets, ripe fermenting prune, graphite, licorice, old dried tobacco with silky "melted" tannins. — 9 years ago

Apricot confit & blonde tobacco notes with lively acidity. Sipped with pineapple cake but would have gone better with epoissese. — 10 years ago
