Deep purplish red. Much smoother than the Our Gangs bottling. Floral and dark nose coated with black cassis, tons of baking spices, lilacs and a bit woody. Smooth and powerful tannins (7.5/10) with a full body. Flavors of lavender, cassis, plums, blackberries and cinnamon. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2038.

Wifey went to see the rents for the weekend. I was left with no choice, but to hunt and provide for myself. Cooked a beef bolognese with jacket potatoes. Paired with a brilliant bottle of juice, gifted by @David L. Having just submitted a major stats assignment, I'm getting back to honing my mortal kombat skills 🙂
From the nose, it's immediately apparent that this is not your typical, extravagant cab. It's much more restrained, tilting more toward a Bdx, than Napa. Aromatics offer up notes of coffee, black tea and kirsch. The palette is perfectly proportioned with black cherries, a hint of licorice and herbs. The ensemble is completed with with plush tannins, poise, balance and grace. It doesn't require food, but it shows great flexibility with it. No hurry to drink this. It has another 7 years of runway ahead of it. 14.7 abv.
David and Kirsten - thank you so much.
