Very rich and delicious. However, was selling for $89, so it was out of my price range. How nice to see it here at a more manageable price.

A great cab. Spicy and rich. Nothing really remarkable about the flavor that would make it memorable. Nonetheless a great, solid cab.

Nothing exciting. Mocha, cassis, and a hint of leather. Would've been better in a few years.
