A nice cab, but did not measure up to its younger sister ‘15. More tannic. More complex. Will be a good wine in several years time.

Sep 7th, 2017Very good right now (Nov 2019) but will definitely improve over the next few years. Still a bit tannic but explosive black and blue fruit aromas and flavors along with mint, and earthy flavors. I'd hold for another year or two but no rush in drinking.

Showing a lot more age than it should at 10 years old.

Tight but you still get a generous amount of fruit and oak. Layered with blue and red fruit, spice, oak, and toast. Has been open about an hour and needs more time. Probably should have waited to open it. I'm guessing my rating will improve.
