Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 10
($145; 79% cabernet sauvignon, 10%
merlot, 9% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc) Opaque ruby. A
complex, heady bouquet displays red- and blackcurrant, pipe
tobacco, cigar box and rose oil, with suave spiciness gaining
strength in the glass. Sappy and sweet, with mineral-laced red and
dark berry preserve and cherry-vanilla flavors complemented by
smoke and floral pastille qualities. The finish shows sweetness as
well as tanginess and leaves a gentle smoky quality behind. Quite
open-knit for Monte Bello but there's a core of minerality and
sneaky acidity here that bodes well for aging. This was aged in
100% new oak, 96% of it American. 94 points |
