At the age of four-plus years, the tannins still are tough and astringent in this Cabernet, making it hard to appreciate the underling blackberry, blueberry and currant flavors. It’s bone dry, but those tannins don’t seem like they’ll ever age out, so drink up.

Not showing much pleasure right out of the bottle, with a sharp, tannic mouthfeel. There’s a deep core of black currant fruit that veers into overripe raisins. Might age, but it’s risky.

Cab hardly gets darker or sappier in fruit than this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It’s hard in tannins and sharp, with massively extracted black currant flavors. Doesn’t seem to have the balance to age, so drink up.
