a solid, earthy, dusty, lightly leathery cabernet sauvignon. though perhaps not technically perfect, it captures the palate imagination with texture and detail, and a light touch which keeps the alcohol around 14% and the tannins proportionate. no massive new oak here either, though the (virtually impossible to read) back label notes that it was made in 100% french oak, half of it new.
