Written Notes

Healthy dark red. Far more aromatically expressive on the nose than the '05, offering scents of redcurrant jelly, tart cherry stomp, rose petal and brown spices. At once suave and penetrating on the palate, with red fruits and savory soil tones lifted throughout by a floral character that's quite fresh considering the age of the wine. This silky, energetic, well-balanced wine finishes with harmonious tannins, a hint of spearmint and superb length. Incidentally, this wine, along with the 2004 and 2010, was not in the original line-up for this extensive vertical tasting, but the winery presented it at the end at my request. This bottle was far more satisfying than a sample I tasted a few years ago in my 1994 horizontal of Napa Valley Cabernets. (13.5% alcohol; 3.75 pH; 5.8 g/l acidity; aged in 60% American and 40% French oak, half new)
