Fun model but she's wasn't down to pose for the Delectable community and ducked away when I started to snap the pic haha....so this is for the elbow and shoulder lovers. The Core is a treat. Mocha and full blue/black fruits. A bit of bite when it warms up but a very nice wine.

Not too sure of this wine right now. It's not a bad wine, but lots of tannins overpower the fruit at the moment. Will be interesting to see whether aging takes the edge off. I personally don't think it has sufficient strength to do so, but I'd be happy to be wrong in six years time

This 2006 is phenomenal. A lot of bug flavor.

This one is going to be to have to sit in the bottle for a few years to hit its peak.

Fantastic and powerful Cab! Really opened up with a few hours decant. Structure, balance, yet full-throttle fruit! Definitely one of my top wines of 2013!
