A beauty! This opaque purple-colored Cabernet boasts an explosive bouquet of crushed plums, creme de cassis, licorice, Asian spices, and graphite. The wine is full-bodied, sweet, and exuberantly fruity with surprisingly good acidity. It deftly balances power and juicy fruit with freshness and vibrancy. It should drink well for 15-18 years.
