Excellent Cabernet, reminding me the big Cab Sauv from Napa, however with better acidity and tannins and for much lower price. It has everything, excellent fruit (no in almost jammy tones), stunning acidity, earhtiness, oak, cedar, chocolate, leather, spices, proper tannins and mostly it is in perfect bottle maturity. Quite high alcohol is perfectly integrated.
