Massive but beginning to shed some tannin. Very dark and brooding in the glass, 2 hour decant produces mocha, black fruits and exceptional fruit intensity. Rounding out and fantastic potential but it could use time imho.

Full bodied. Hint of berries, well rounded.

Trop de bois... Presque érable en bouche. Très mûre et juteux pas prêt à boire pour l'instant. Très belle avenir...
Tanins parfait.

Quintessential Napa Cabernet. Irrespective of the vintage, always one of my favorites. Deep red in color. Some heat on the nose but not off putting. Silky tannins and a long finish. Almost perfect. I may be underrating this one.
