Dark ruby-red. Sweet aromas and flavors of crushed dark berries, licorice and minerals accented by menthol and fresh herbs. Juicy and stylish, with the enticing inner-mouth lift of the vintage giving this cabernet terrific early definition. Finishes with firm, toothdusting tannins and excellent persistence. This may be every bit as strong as the 2009, if in a more laid-back style.
