Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

- 92 points -

"Saturated medium ruby.  Exotic crushed berries, mocha and lead pencil on the nose; a bit less complex than the 2010.  Chewy and strong if a bit rougher and warmer than the young '10, with black cherry and licorice flavors joined by smoke, loam and chocolatey oak.  Ultimately pliant and sweet but the substantial dusty tannins will require at least three or four years to harmonize."
