This is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Malbec, and 2% Petit Verdot. Inky purple, opaque and bright. The nose is tight but opens a bit with some air. Cassis, dust, oak and cumin. Firm tannins. Lots of energy. Good acidity. On the palate, black cherries, cassis and spice with plenty of depth. Good finish. This needs time for my tastes. There is a lot here but it seems a bit shut down. I would hold for five and then drink for ten to fifteen after that. If drinking soon, it will need a steak or Prime Rib to stand up to the tannins. The score should go up a few points as it matures.
