Dense, brooding and nearly impenetrable at this stage. The 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot blend shows glimpses of dark fruit and spice beneath formidable structure, but the massive tannins dominate completely. Built for the long haul. This powerhouse demands serious cellaring.
