Strong contender for best in show. Plums, eucalyptus, mint.

Enormous, over-the-top Howell Mountain Cab. P&P and immediately poured into a decanter given how tightly wound it was. Nose was surprisingly muted in terms of fruit and heavy on wet slate, fresh concrete notes. Mouth is full of berries, black currant, tar and peppercorn. Syrah like? Oh and gritty, sandpaper-like tannins. Agree with others who have commented it needs (lot) more time. Or, more critically, an example of how you can have too much of a good thing.

K&L has it $56.00, best deal around, one of the top under $75.00 cabs I've had

Big fruit bomb. Reminds me of other 2012s. Delicious but not as complex as hoped.

It's very berry, and has a persimmon like astringency.
