"DATE: 08-17-06 Appearance: Purple.
Nose: Chocolate, sweet oak, raspberry and vanilla, other spices and dark fruit as well.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, heavyweight. Big all-around, deep fruit, big oak, a vanilla/chocolate sweetness and spiciness, long finish showing lots of quite ripe tannins.
Conclusions: Modern Cab Sauv which tastes good now, and will taste good in five years. Not at all sure how this will age.." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Intense with aromas of dark plum and blackberry jam that come together with flavours of black currant and chocolate-covered cherries. Elegant and supple with excellent structure, this mouthfilling red is nicely balanced with rich tannins and toasty oak."
