Note di degustazione
56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 14% Merlot, 8% Petit Verdot. More typically Napa on the nose than their Tychson Hill, in that the fruit has ripeness and generosity that fills the palate, and there is less savoury complexity. However, the finish delivers plenty of tannic dustiness that needs many years to mature. (RH)

Like the 2018 version, Colgin's 2021 Cariad is wonderfully vibrant and fresh, with hints of dried sage accenting purple raspberries and cassis. It's full-bodied and velvety in texture yet taut and energetic. Nearly indescribable spice and earthy complexities fold in on the long, elegant finish, all wrapped in a cocoon of dry, silky tannins.

So much graphite here with blackcurrants, black olives, black everything. Some orange peel, dried violets and iodine. Volcanic and pumice-like. Amazing aromas. Full-bodied but so tight and polished with crushed stone, iodine and cashmere. Leather undertones. A distinctive masterpiece for the vintage that will age for infinity. Try after 2030.
