a type-a wine if ever there was one. it's high-voltage cabernet, with just a touch of merlot, and it's layered with cassis, buttery oak, and some toast. the mouthfeel is full but elegant, with mint and clove nuances poking through to impact the bold currant-laden palate. a smooth, well-oaked, persistent finish is the encore. can easily be aged for a decade.
