Likely 2030 would be a better time to open this wine. Very powerful, very intense at this age. Must be consumed with steak because it is too strong otherwise. Fortunately I had this Cabernet Sauvignon with filet mignon from Smith & Wollensky and it was a very nice pairing. Smooth and elegant finish. But attack is overwhelming fruit power and thus not complex.

Blackberry and currant, dirt, leather, pencil shavings. Classically styled, fresh with fine tannins, good depth and length, perfectly balanced.

Dark, tart, dry drippings of bone dry juice. Needed about 2 hours to open up. An interesting complexity evolved that made an intriguing, sipping wine.
