This is another one that we used to drink on a fairly regular basis but for whatever reason had fallen off our list. We were both very pleased that I grabbed a bottle the other day.
This is a very well balanced cabernet that is not overtly tannic. While the tannins are definitely present, they are more reminiscent of an aged cabernet where have burned off but with the fresh fruit of a young wine. Full of black cherry and currant, this was extremely silky throughout. The finish hinted at some white chocolate and lingered moderately.
Generally I would recommend putting some food up with a cabernet, but this one actually does better by itself in our opinion. While it would certainly work with food, I think you would lose the nuances of this fantastic wine.
This is also drinking very well right now, and I do not think that it will significantly improve with age. However, I think it will stay consistent for 4-5 more years before any tapering off.
Cheers!
