Fruit driven - no new oak influence. Berry notes with a green element. Some astringency with bitter tannins towards the finish. Grapes picked too early or missing the spicy mocha influence of new oak? Unlike Sangiovese or Nebbiolo I think Cabernet Sauvignon needs new oak to show its best.

Full flavour, soft tannins, rich mouth feel, long legs on the glass. Waiting until now was well worth it. November 1, 2019
