Dark garnet red with a ruby hue. Aged characteristics on the nose with some tobacco leaves, anise, damp leaves and dark berries. Medium tannins (6/10) and full bodied. Quite earthy on the palate with some dried cherries, cigar box and some light leather. Long finish with solid acidity. Drink till 2023.

Very lush, layered black fruit, chewy tannins. Too extracted for my taste. Undeniable American steak house Cabernet Sauvignon.
