Fruit forward, structured, smooth. — 2 years ago
On the nose it is a bouquet of Calla Lillies on a wet volcanic rock while being hit by Vientos Alisios… on the palate it is rounded balanced with a punch of sweet fruit at the beginning then change to this long Bitter almonds Mineral finish that is just magnificent… I am speechless … — 4 years ago
Complex, interesting, rich and elegant. Can't get much better than this in my modest opinion. One could get lost in the beautiful color with a prominent violet rim. The nose: caramelized dark berries, oak, tobacco, geranium, calla flowers, herbs, wet limestone... The taste : really complex but masterfully structured with a long opulent aftertaste. Caramelized dry blueberries, blackcurrants, leather, smoky, oaky, herbal, floral ... Earth, wind and fire singing in a funambulist's line inside a cathedral ... Overwhelming, unique.Risky but elegant. Decadent but futurist ... It left me puzzled and astounded. A truly amazing creation or experiment ??? That wouldn't let you indifferent. — 9 years ago
An absolutely brilliant wine — 2 years ago
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Here is a delicious one from Napa Valley.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Fruity nose of blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, vanilla, spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, earth, chocolates, eucalyptus, tobacco, red chili pepper and peppercorn.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity with long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, sweet cherries, spices, vanilla, cedar, licorice, raisins, leather, black pepper, pencil lead and light earth.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced with nice complexity.
Drinking very nicely now, although still young, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Tannins show up after 2 hours in the decanter.
I had the 2015 vintage last year, and this one is even better.
A great wine to have all by itself, but will pair nicely with a nice piece of steak too.
I love these Napa Bordeaux blends. Fabulous wine.
A blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Aged for 27 months in (50% new) French Oak barrels. A small production of only 2,400 bottles.
