Deep, dark opacity. Nearly impenetrable with some light cherry red rims. Blackberries and black cherries paired with a rich leather note and some Earl Grey. The wine was tasted slightly cooled. On the palate fresh, fruity with delicate acids, which are slowly converted into a velvety carpet of perfectly integrated tannins. Intensive vibrations. The finish is soft and incredibly long, accompanied by the acidity from the beginning as a pairing resonance. Breathtaking! Not a typical New World Cab.
The wine is of course at its beginning. Waiting another three years makes sense - but why? Decant this beauty for an hour or so and pair it with Tournedos Rossini. Stunning. Total lifetime 20+ years.
