This pure Cabernet is almost jet black in color, displaying full-on aromatics of bramble and berry, suffused with earth and herb. Tannins are muscular and beautifully honed. Decant and let it breathe a few hours; the fruit expands with lush flavors of wild blackberries and cassis, dappled with light herb, and moving into a rich finish of clove, chocolate and espresso.——P.G.(11/1/2010)—— 94
