Nose: Smells great, some type of fruit like fig or plum with crembrullee. Sounds weird but it works in my mind. Taste: actually on taste it is pleasant but I am having a hard time picking out anything specific. Maybe light notes of brown sugar type candy. Not really getting the cabernet notes coming theough though. Mouthfeel: smooth and thin, doesnmt really coat your mouth. Finish: Not the shortest finish, but on that side of the spectrum. Overall: Enjoyable and pleasant to have a pour, but my favorite part was the nose while drinking. Will see how this one changes after being open a while. Nice to ha e a bottle on the shelf and glad I tried but in this price range something like a Knob Creek 9yr single barrel would be my choice.
