The last time I had this wine, it seemed much more developed, youthful and approachable. This particular bottle, was super-powerful, dense and concentrated, as well as structured and backward.
A delicious, pure expression of ripe Cabernet, with tiers of blackberry, mocha, sage, currant and bay leaf. Impeccably balanced, gaining richness and complexity while maintaining a wonderful sense of elegance and grace.
...Smudgy, cloudy nose...Lovely fully evolved wine with savoury interest...Fresh finish. Not intense but very well balanced. [It was the extent of its evolution that stopped me giving this wine...a higher score.]
