Note di degustazione
(75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% cabernet franc) Good ruby-red. Black raspberry and floral aromas, complicated by coffee and mocha notes. Supple, fat and sweet, with lovely depth of flavor and texture. A fairly large-scaled version of this wine: Viader declassified a lot of her 2003 cabernet franc, which she described as "light in body." Finishes with ripe, dusty tannins that arrive late. This has turned out very well.

Full ruby. Very floral aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice. Dense, sweet and fine-grained; round and elegant. Lifted by baking spices. Like the V, this really coats the palate. Finishes with a fine dusting of spreading, broad tannins. Carrying 14+% alcohol, on the high side for this wine. Delia Viader notes that the 2003 tannins were a bit dusty at the outset. In contrast, she added, the 2002s were always upfront wines, even if they're big and brawny.
