Without a doubtly the finest product I've ever had the pleasure from this producer. 100% cab, this is one inky-black hued bottle that shows no signs of age. Nose of black fruits with a sweet spiciness, cassis, and a touch of pencil shavings. All hit the palate with the addition of black cherries. Solid entry, weighty center and a 4 lapper finish. Still can use another 1-3 to resolve some tannins. Marvelous effort. 91/90 38 by the box. 14.1% alc. WW
