We've been working on this wine for 3+ days now and it has finally loosened up a bit, despite being 4 years old. This is a nice, budget, Cab Sauv for folks who like Chilean Cabs. On the nose: cedar, currant, and that lovely, familiar, eucalyptus note. On the palate: More of the same, but with dense, almost chestnutty, hairiness to it that didn't let up for the first 2 nights. I would have shot it a 82-83 in the first two rounds by after settling on night 3, I say 85. This is solid for the $11 purchase price I found it for...good with pasta/meatballs in a red sauce, as there was enough acidity to the weight of the Cab on this. 85/100.
Bottom line: A nice, budget, Cab that will surprise...but let it open up for an hour or have over 3 days.
