This is young...very young. However! This is already very impressive. Somewhat of a "if you know, you know" wine that has bags of potential. Give this 10 years and it will go up against almost any wine. Did an aged blind tasting against Dominus a few years ago and this smashed. Good one to have in your cellar! — 2 months ago
Unreal nose for one of the best wines in all of NSG. Gorgeous black cherry fruit that is so clear and vivid. A hint of black plum but more black plum skins. Wild mint, desiccated tree bark, wild flowers and mega forest floor. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 nose. Rich and deep with awesome purity and freshness. Really lush and succulent with terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Superb concentration, structure and juiciness. Such a baby but not inaccessible. Really long finish and so compact. Glorious and can’t wait to see what the evening brings for this wine. This did get riper, “soupier” and plummier. Showed its “20” bones. Still fresh and deep but man 20 is all plum it seems like at some estates. — 3 months ago
Funny how sometimes I’m guilty of thinking “ letting the Brett blow off” to taste the main event. Here the development in the glass is the main event, which includes quite a bit of funk when first opening up. That the evolution includes wild blackberries & cassis, & the funk adds to the overall impression of something feral getting tamed, is all part of the fun. Fine grained & can be drunk young, but curious how it would fare in 8-10 years ( imagine a much more smoothed out development & sweetness). — a month ago

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from Bordeaux is still young, but already enjoyable, even by itself.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting. Fruit forward and elegant.
Easy drinking at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
A blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
