Perfect! It is a long time since I have had a Cabernet Sauvignon this good. The nose is leather and dark fruit. The complex palette consists of chocolate, smoke, earth, leather, oak, and blackberry. Needs steak. This wine is ready to drink now. I bet it would have been too strong in prior years.

I get a bit of Brett in this one. Tannins, acid.

A new one! The castle. This was a first for me - and it was delish.

Other bottles regrettably not captured include the tried, true and consistently mouth watering Venge '14 Bone Ash cab, and a super Tuscan that I couldn't finish - not for me.

Get your hands on this if
You can! It may be a little pricey, but if a fine silk tasted like wine, this is it!
