This aged very well. It has that spicy syrah touch, merlot cherries, black currant cab s and all tanins are completely integrated.

It is truly Cab S dominated with black currant nose and taste. Finnishes rather short. Lush but to one dimensional.
Liked it better a few years ago.

2013 - 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. 13.8% ABV. Really tasty, rustic Bordeaux blend. Good earth and texture on the palate. Had two glasses at Revolution in NOLA. The first had some of the sediment from the end of the bottle, which worked nicely with the roux of the Death by Gumbo (gumbo-stuffed quail in a Roux). High ABV but didn’t sense it on the nose or palate.

2012 vintage on 22.9.18
Typical Cab S nose. Or Syrah? Or Merlot? (Equal parts in the wine) Hard to determine as being Lebanese. Great wine with enough acids and some tanins to last for a while.
Long finish. Very good wine.

Great wine. Dark purple interesting bordeaux blend with syrah added. Dark fruit, cinnamon, vanilla. Great potential!
