Note di degustazione
Good dark red-ruby. An essence of Cabernet on the expressive nose, offering scents of dark plum, cassis, spices and graphite minerality. Wonderfully plummy, rich and deep, with almost exotic spicy lift to the varietally pure berry flavors. At once sappy and fine-grained, this very suave wine finishes with firm but smooth tannins and strong fruits and spices. This wonderfully plush, sweet, deep wine conveys a rather late-picked style and is almost too easy to taste today. But I'm not complaining.

Healthy ruby-red. Wild plum, dark berries, musky espresso, mocha and graphite on the varietally expressive nose. Shows wonderful mineral verve but this utterly seamless wine still conveys a musky suggestion of reduction. It's also more red than black fruit in style and shows its site more than the vintage character. Really lovely inner-mouth aromatic perfume here. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lovely slowly building lift. This wine blew away many of the portier, clunkier examples in my 2007 group tastings but it may need earlier drinking than some vintages of Bryant. The silky, seamless finish features a light touch and terrific spice and mocha lift. (ST)
A very opulent, yet fresh nose. Perfumed with fresh mushrooms, currants, and blackberries. Full bodied with an amazing density of fruit, and ripe velvety tannins. So big and compacted, with a superb structure. Very 2006 in style but with much more intensity. The fruit amazing and intense.
