Mature and showing nice black fruit - blackberry, cassis, violet, anise, black cherry and black plum plus oak notes of vanilla ands cedar. Tertiary flavors and aromas of leather and cigar box are starting to emerge. The wine is highly extracted giving it a sense of jammy heaviness without quite enough acidity to balance the powerful fruit impression. Medium plus finish that is a bit hotter than I’d like.

At 5 years old, this bold Cab has become smooth and a delight to drink. Not overly complex. September 2024.
