LARDY'S WINETASTING NOTES Heavy Bodied Red Wine
Tech Information: 06-21-05 $ 29.95 (S: 0 A: 13) Winery
"RETASTED: 07-14-07 Appearance: Garnet with mahogany forming.
"DATE: 05-11-05 Appearance: Ruby with some brick at the rim.
Nose: Sweet oak, red pepper, plum, raspberry, harmonious aromatics.
Palate: Dry with moderate acidity, almost a heavyweight, very big for the vintage. Palate is more developed than the nose, with more earthy elements being added to those promised on the nose. Very well balanced at a high level (big in many ways). Long clean finish.
Conclusions: Nice Bordeaux / Meritage blend. Big wine given the year and percentage of Cab Franc. Almost ready for prime time, and will hold until its 10th birthday. Nicely done - big yet already drinkable." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"This wine is a true Bordeaux. It is a blend of our very best grapes. 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Barrel aged 24 months in oak. Cellaring recommended."
