Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy oak spice. On the palate black cherry, raspberry and black currant flavors with espresso, cacao and earthy notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine ripe tannins long ending with fruit, oak and tobacco spice! Nice!

Luscious, full bodied and deep. But not exciting. Very expensive.

Wow. Super soft tannins and ready to drink now or lay down in the cellar.

A very solid and nice wine but with a price tag at $185 it is an easy pass (at least for me).

Simply outstanding. Very smooth for its age and how big of a cab this is.

Great wine, paired it with some brisket. But did this price I’d rather have a Burgundy!

Nicely balanced in flavor. A bit of fruit on the nose. Very smooth.
