Once again, this esteemed Cabernet genius (Melka) has crafted a gem that impresses with seriously delicious, dark fruit and velvety smooth tannins that remind us of far pricier red wines. The bouquet boasts captivating aromas of baking cocoa and pipe tobacco that lead to seductive layers of seductive fruit complimented by seamlessly integrated French oak. Intensely satisfying hints of savory spices and vanilla linger on the creamy finish meld together harmoniously for a dream pairing an array of menus (especially grilled meat dishes) now through 2030. This relative bargain may be enjoyed tonight (decant 1⁄2 hour) and anytime over the next decade in our judgement.
