The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve exhibits an inky saturated purple color as well as a glorious perfume of melted chocolate, creme de cassis, cedar, and espresso. Terrific texture, low acidity, and ripe, well-integrated tannin give the overall impression of a seamless, opulent wine destined to be drunk young, yet capable of lasting 7-10 years.

Opened 15th August 2014, wine is very much alive & well. Several hours in the decanter couldn't tame this beast which remains dominant in alcohol heat over fruit or structure. Great aroma but impenetrable inkiness makes it stick like an old port, only with a menthol element to clear the sinuses. Doubles as a medicinal remedy. If you like them huge you'll love it. Drink in the next 1 to 5 years
