Nice surprise to try at the Oakton Wine Shop. Dark ruby red. Attack of dark fruits and spices. Heavy tannins (8/10) with a full body and long finish. So young. Drink till 2030.

Yummy cabernet. Rich blue fruit with a great acid spine. Well integrated tannins.

Needed to warm up considerably from cellar temp. But then the fruit came out. Tannins are balanced.

En Magnum. Wonderful. Red and blue fruit, earth notes, bright minerality. Tannins relax after a couple of hours with air. Happy New Year!

Day 18 of our 24 day Amazon cruise. Opened this way too soon. It was huge! Should have decanted. Lots of potential here but save for a later date.
