Real deal Holyfield...@Eric S thank you Sir for sharing this bottle with me. My first time but not the last. I get this big rush of smoked meats and dried strawberries on the nose with secondary hint of alcohol that blows off. Rich and lush on entry; no sign on tannins, integrated well. Mouth coating flavors yet light and bright. This stud has none of green herbaceous element. Hot charcoal, coulis and currant paste fill the palate. Ends with slight cigar box and dusty road. Wonderful. @Eric S thanks again!

Starting to mellow with age. Nice spearmint notes all around, with a palate of chocolate and cherries. Drink now.

In my view one of the best Cab Francs around. Dark inky color, cedary nose. Complex palate- starts out with dark fruits and lavender, turns sweet at the mid point, and finishes (30 seconds) with wet leather. Very smooth and well integrated at this young age. They also have Howell Mountain and 7 Rows options at higher price points that are even better!
