This was MONEY. Big perfumed nose lead to a rich and elegant Cab. Tannins were soft and integrated. Big black fruit with a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Luscious mouth feel and long finish. Wish i had more.

Smooth oak, berry and a bit of red licorice. Powerful at 15.2 but yum!

Tobacco, leather and menthol nose. Sour cherries, framboise and chocolate notes. Tannins fairly well resolved but still provide ample backbone. Enjoyable.

Rich and powerful driven by black fruit. Full mouth feel and long finish. Refined tannins and medium acidity.
