My first and only Moone-Tsai was a ‘12 Cab. This was my second and was non comparable to the ‘12.

Checking in after a couple years since last tasted. I remember thinking it was tight and tannic. Let it open for two hours and it still can use time. It’s showing tho and it’s great. The nose is much more expressive. Red fruit and baking spices. The pallet is charred oak, graphite, coffee, bitter chocolate, black fruit and cherry. Finish is smoky tannins that go on forever. Self - don’t try again for 2-3 years.

Great wine! Fruit still hiding a little and nice tannins will make the a rockstar with some patience.
