Man, this cab had my taste buds singing hallelujah! Like rich, melted dark chocolate and raspberries, cedar box on the nose, dry tobacco leaf, cinnamon, dried fig, and a HUGE body, with a well integrated tannin and a gripping finish. Mark Herold, you're a monster of a wine maker! Of course a bit different from Kamen or Heston, but it's clearly his bigger than life style. This should age very nicely and is still aproachable now. Advocate gave it a 93 and so will I!

Really hangs around the palate. Rich, dark fruits. Can this stay for awhile? Yes but real good now.
