turnbull leopoldina cabernet sauvignon (oakville)

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1552

To call this Cabernet massive is an understatement. This is packed with blackberry and black currant flavors, complexed with dark licorice and dark chocolate notes, with a swirl of cinnamon spice on the finish. It’s so powerful and delicious, you’ll be tempted to drink it now, but don’t. The tannins are very strong; the wine is very dry; and it will easily reward patience. Best after 2017. — (3/1/2013) —94

A single-vineyard wine whose grapes evidently were allowed to get very ripe. Caberent doesn’t get much richer than this, with massive waves of blackberries, black cherries, currants, dark chocolate and minty oak. Earns extra points for the elegance of its tannin structure. Drink now–2015.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 93
