A solid red blend dominated by Cabernet. The other varieties compliment the palate releasing a pleasant finish. Definitely worth trying again depending on the price point. Cheers!

One word.. 3xBold! This was a strong wine. Strong like Dave Draper or Tom Platz in the Golden age of bodybuilding. Too powerful to drink alone but paired with almost anything including halibut, it rocked the table. Incredibly smooth for such an in your face cab. Label said red wine but this tasted like a cab.

Good. Neutral, sweet nose. Less spice than expected, coffee.

Really should have been decanted. Good notes overall: leather and chocolate but mostly fruit. Still... Needed to breathe big time.
