Deep ruby red with a purplish hue. Completely coats the glass, high viscosity. Voluptuous nose with black and blueberries layered with dark gravel and cocoa. Heavy tannins (8/10) and full bodied. Lush and plush on the palate with tons of structure. Dark palate; dark baking spices, dark cocoa, cinnamon sticks, dark minerality in the finish, black cherries and lush dark berries. Stunning wine that leaves your mouth wanting more. Delicious finish that lingers. This will only get better with age, would love to revisit in 5 to 10 years. Drink till 2038. (96+)

Without question the best Cabernet I've had this year. This was just an absolute blockbuster. So much purity of fruit, structure and framing for long term but extremely unctuous and inviting now. Sweet grained tannins and luxurious finish. I was blown away. Thank you @Martin G Rivard for turning me on to this! Hey @Jason Chang where do I sign up!?

Wow! Had heard this @ninesuns would be beautiful -- but exceeds expectations. Elegant and powerful at once, with great length and gorgeous fruit. Sipping a bit too fast. 😳
