Note di degustazione
The 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon (from 10-year old vines) may only have a "modest" 13.9% alcohol, yet it is a sensational wine. Its opaque saturated purple color is followed by copious amounts of cassis, earth, and spice aromas. There is superb concentration, huge body, outstanding purity, and a multi-dimensional, thick, viscous, concentrated finish. It is a blockbuster Cabernet Sauvignon that will be drinkable young because of low acidity, but will evolve for two decades. Importer: Dan Phillips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel.

Saturated ruby-red. Raspberry, chocolate and mint aromas. Similar flavors in the mouth, along with a note of stewed tomato. Some disjointed acids on the finish. Rich but rather rustic wine.
