Wine Enthusiast, 99 for 2008 Colgin Cellars IX Estate Red, Napa Valley, USA 750ml at Fine Wines International

Tasting Note
"This is an absolutely beautiful wine to drink now, but the richness comes at the price of considerable alcohol. The color is dark and impenetrable, the aromas huge in Cabernet-inspired blackberries and black currants, with a touch of something herbal and also a stony minerality. There?s also a fascinating peatiness, like an Islay Scotch. It really opens up in the glass, becoming ever more complex. It?s great Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, but that high alcohol may limit its ageability."
