Night six on the Allure of the Seas and wine number eight from the wine crate. This night we are at Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse.

Deep garnet red. Dark and layered nose with notes of cinnamon, spices, menthol, and a touch of damp leaves. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Rich and powerful on the palate, drinking at its peak right now. Layers of cassis, black currants, some forest floor and herbal elements. Strong acidity too. Long finish. Drink till 2027.

History in a bottle from the wine ambassador himself. Very integrated Cab, balanced, round, with layers of complexity. Cheers.

What a delightful bottle. Shared with 6 of us, so didn't have a chance to enjoy a lot of it, but tasty for a 12 year old Reserve from them, and still had some life left in it. A bit on the earthy aide, so right up my alley!

Compared to 2002 vintage, this one has got more powerful dark fruit aroma, light vanilla scent. Softer tannin and a bit heavier body
