Still quite tannic, fruit very much alive but showing secondary aromas and more wild green side of cab sauv. Vanilla and caramel on finish. Poured from coravin but suspect this would benefit from some air. Quite nice. — 7 years ago

Much more dark red and black fruits than other examples. Slightly “fatter” on the pallette as well with chocolate undertones. Suspect many would love this style. — 7 years ago
