Deep ruby with concentrated black fruit aromas nearly overwhelmed by a substantial amount of new oak. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, vanilla, cedar, pencil lead. In the mouth, the wine is out of balance, dominated by oak, clove and cedar. Surprisingly little tertiary character. This highly extracted wine suffers a bit from only medium acidity and the high tannins are a little green. The fruit is attractive, but it’s very hard to get to, leaving the wine less enjoyable than it should be.

A delicious cabernet which reflects a nice blend between power and elegance. Deep dark red in color. Lovely aromas of black current, light hint of bell pepper, a touch of spice, licorice and chocolate, medium to full body, well balanced and round even at this young age, well integrated tannins, fine acidity and a delicious long balanced finish. A pleasure. My score 90, drink to 2021

Smooth but not quite impressive. It was very good with a tea and tar taste being the most pronounced followed by a mellow sweetness.

Structured with pure black fruit. Will improve over the next 10+ years.

Delicious. Needs a bit of time to open up but this is drinking quite nicely. Dark fruits, medium tannins, solid cab all around

Deep red, abundance of ripe fruits, bold but not overwhelming.

This is a nice drinking Cabernet lots of dark red fruit touches of tobacco and spice. I enjoyed the tannins in this wine and the finish. The finish is sexy, velvety and smooth. It is very easy to drink which means I should have bought another bottle before hand.

Not much going on here - thin and unimpressive. Definitely not worth the price.
