Note di degustazione
(15.4% alcohol; includes 4% merlot) Bright ruby-red. Roasted dark berries, black cherry, graphite, dark chocolate and nutty oak on the nose. Smooth and sweet in the mouth, with the dark fruit flavors joined by smoke and earth notes. Substantial tannins show a slight dryness. Not the last word in complexity but there's more going on here than just fruit.

The dense purple-colored 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon’s hefty 15.1% alcohol is well-disguised by classic aromas of white chocolate, black currants, blackberries, licorice, and coffee beans. This dense, medium to full-bodied, opulent, fleshy, powerful effort boasts sweet tannin and low acidity. Drink it over the next 10-15 years. Previously recommended: 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (95). Tel.

Bright medium ruby. Cassis and coffee torrefaction on the nose; a bit more medicinal and brooding than the 2003. Fat, sweet and primary but with good lift for the vintage. The medicinal character carries through onto the finish, which features firm tannins and noteworthy structure. Not noticeably better than the very good 2003 but this will almost certainly require a bit of bottle aging.
