Served decanted. Nose is faint with high alcohol subduing some underlying notes of blackcurrant and pepper. Once sipped it really comes alive with powerful punches of currant, leather and ripe cherry. Tannins are moderate and the overall structure is slightly better than middle of the road. Finish is memorable but not too persistent. This is not a fat cab but definitely potent. Paired well with a spicy turkey plate, of all things.
