Tannic astringency marks this Cabernet, even though it’s more than seven years old. It feels hard and unrelieved in the mouth, although there’s enough blackberry, cherry and cassis flavor to satisfy. The question is whether or not continued aging will eventually bring this tough, aggressive wine around. Try after 2013.
