Had this bottle for a long time already. And thought it to be a basic peaty Islay. But it is a very fine rounded, bit sweet and not too agressive. Better get a new one. — 8 years ago

This is a very flavorful cabernet. I usually find them too dry for my taste, but the bourbon barrel aging has added subtle bourbon characteristics that make this appeal to me more than other cab-savs. This is a great find and I hope the winery continues making it. — 8 years ago

Uncomparable to anything I've drank before. Very savory and saline. Almost like drinking sea water. Acidity is medium. Not much on the citrus side but there are some almond notes. Interesting. — 9 years ago

Still vibrant and energetic with dark fruit and grip. Has at least 10+ years before it starts losing that intensity — 10 years ago

9.2

Deep garnet red with lots of bricking on the edges. Light cassis and dark cherries on the nose with some tertiary notes like earthiness and damp leaves. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Lots of complexity with light cassis and dark cherries, a little bit of tomato leaves and earthiness. Very well rounded and integrated with a long finish. This will only keep losing fruit and get earthier with time. Drink now. — 10 years ago
