this is a big, age-worthy 100% cabernet sauvignon. tasted now, it's dryly tannic, with the black currant and crème de cassis flavors buried under a cloak of astringency. new oak, which comprises 80% of the barrels, adds even greater tannins. give this wine at least six years, and it should continue to blossom in a good cellar for another decade.
