Deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with sweet spice. On the palate flavors of plum, blackberry and currant flavors with notes of cacao, cinnamon and vanilla oak. Vivid acidity, ripe fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice, nice value!

After some time to breath the wine opens up nicely, red fruit, some spice. Nice longer finish.

Havenโ€™t had a MAXโ€™S for awhile. This bottle was a straight Cabernet Sauvignon vs. a blend. Really enjoyed this bottle with a ribeye. I have lots more bottles of this vintage.

Earthy eucalyptus and pepper over oak and currant. Very bold but a little herbal for my preference.

Dry and bold, tobacco peppery oak and mildly herbs on palate while all black dark berries and plums alongside, blackberries ๐Ÿ‡ standard and firm on palate, keep its note to finishing, aftertaste consistent, silky and smoothly, a winter red for good, on a visiting-mom Wednesday this time at home, thanks for their time and welcoming and cook-at-home, everything
๐Ÿ‡
And today is Chinese Night day ๐Ÿฒ so we will have Szechuan food tonight
