Third of the blind tasting for Father's Day weekend.
Dark purplish ruby red. Dark fruits on the nose with notes of forest floor and some aged characteristics of mushrooms. Solid acidity and heavy tannins (7/10). Rich palate on the attack with black fruits. Opened up to some anise, a touch aged, earthiness and some minerality. Medium plus body and long finish. Drink till 2028. (91+)
Will leave our last bottle for a few years. Hopefully this will improve with age.

40 year old Cabernet Sauvignon vines from Spring Mountain blended with merlot, malbec and cab franc from the Oakville floor....yummy! Deep color and a silky finish.
