The 2004 Clos d’Agon Tinto is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, 20% Merlot, and 20% Cabernet Franc aged for 16 months in new French oak. Purple-colored, it has a smoky, sexy perfume of pain grille, crushed stone, clove, blueberry, and black currant. This is followed by a forward, seamless wine with gobs of flavor, a hedonistic personality, and a long, fruit-filled finish. Drink this seductive wine over the next 10 years.
