點擊次數(shù)：9499

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a youthful dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet notes of graphite, oak, forest floor, black currants, dark cherries and white chocolate. This full-bodied, exceptionally elegant wine possesses well-integrated, sweet tannin, enough acidity for balance and impressive purity. It can be drunk now or cellared for another 12-15 years. As long-time readers know, Keenan Winery has been at the top of its game for a number of years, so I was not surprised to see how strongly their 2004s were performing at age ten. Tel.

Tastes as common as a Cab one-quarter the price, with candied currant, cassis, date and oak flavors that finish with a raw edge of green tannins and minty acids.——S.H.(6/1/2008)—— 83
