肯歌利亞路酒莊赤霞珠紅葡萄酒

點擊次數(shù)：7691

The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) was aged in a combination of new and old French and American wood. This vintage’s long, cool growing season resulted in a wine with beautifully pure notes of black currants, mint, white chocolate, and spicy vanillin. Medium to full-bodied and super-rich with lovely purity, this is a polished, sophisticated Cabernet that should drink well for a decade or more.

It’s round and full-bodied in the mouth, but this wine isn’t just another jammy Australian Cabernet—there’s some structure here, giving a sense of size without excess weight and defining the finish with dusty, fine-textured tannins. The fruit is dense, though, and dark, running the fine line between chocolaty cassis and prune before picking up hints of dates and dried spices. Drink now–2010.——J.C.(3/1/2007)—— 88
