Rich, round, full. Massive and dense and delicious.

Rich nose. Plush palette. Spicy notes which finish slightly tart. I popped and poured this, so I'm hoping for a divine intervention...

Update - infinitely better on day two. Tartness had evaporated, leaving sweet fruits

09' Rudius Panek Cabernet. Bold Black currant, black raspberries. Striking red licorice, dark chocolate. Lingering on the back of palate. I'll have to try the 12 & 13. Edit- Give it a good 90 minute decanting👍Better-

Wow.. very rich chocolate and licorice smell. Very complex on the tongue with soany layers... Rolled from the salmon into the filet to the cheese with ease

Nose is amazing- leather, dirt, bramble, spearmint. Palate is a bit of a let down- most of the nose traits are missing, seems disjointed and a little bitter. Not a storage issue as I've had this since release. I think I paid $70-$80 for this- many better options in this range. Wouldn't do it again.
