Part of a pair of wines as a meditation on oak (see review of the French oak version), this Cabernet has very smooth flavors of red and black berries with a fair amount of wood notes and dusty tannins – very enjoyable. The oak notes, as one might expect, are a little more pronounced in this bottling, and it is perhaps a little more structured.
