Note di degustazione
Floral aromatics are complicated by cherry pipe tobacco, truffle and wet earth scents. Silky, refined and soft, the dark cherry, plum and roasted coffee bean sensations on the palate is a treat. 95 Points

The 1996 Proprietary Red (a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon with the balance Malbec, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) is not a very weighty (14.3% alcohol) offering. It has become more delineated with a year of bottle age, offering up classic creme de cassis, smoked meat, coffee, prune, and toasty new oak scents. Concentrated, with fabulously high extract, sweet tannin, and full body, this wine has an elegant feel on the palate, but is still a blockbuster. Anticipated maturity: now-2025. Tel.
