Inky in color with a wide reddish rim.
Earthy nose with black fruits, cedar and lots of earth and vegetable notes.
Full bodied and soft with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, cedar, toast, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, mediterranean spices, dark chocolates, bell pepper, green tea, diet coke and peppercorn.

This 15 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from the challenging 2011 vintage, is drinking beautifully. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and very complex. Elegant and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime. I did not decant it and let it open up in the bottle.
As it opens up, more bell pepper notes show up. Feels like a Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon. Still drinking at its peak, but will not last long so drink up.
A great sipping wine that does not need food at all.
