Appearance: Dark
crimson.
Aroma: Oak
essence. Sweet fruits aroma. Violet.
Palate: Creamy, dense,
and full. Smooth sweet tannins. Forward and fruity: ripe black fruits. A bit of
spices. Long finish.
Surely Napa style of straight forward and flashy US cult
Cabernet Sauvignon. Big, ripe, and sweet are the definition. So just pop now,
why wait? Have something equally big to go along too. Roasted rack of lambs or
venison will do, I suppose.
