| Deep ruby/dark cranberry color. Aromatics include soft, warm oak, leather, olive, cassis, dark cherries. Blackberry, black currant, olive, tobacco notes w/sweet oak tannins. Long warm red fruits and more tobacco notes on the impressive finish.
91-92 pts., really drinking well after 2 hrs. in the decanter. Lots of time left in this bottle before it hits full stride. $44 (less 15% case discount!). | | | |

Next time we get together (and we need to, uh hem), I'm bringing a Catena Alta Cab and a jar of olives. Relax, it's all good.....   | | | |
