2006 vintage. 54 Cab Sauv 27 Cab Franc 10 Merlot 7 Petit Verdot 2 Malbec. Amazing how tightly-wound the structure is on this wine, considering how old it is and how long it had been open today. Grippy, woody tannins and acid-driven fruit dominate the palate. Cranberry, lingonberry, red currant, graphite, cedar, tobacco, menthol, tarragon, anise, black rocks, over-steeped black tea, walnut husk, decaying leaves. Lots going on here and definitely feels like it could have made it another 5+ years, still a behemoth in terms of structure!
