remarkably sweet tannin

I would have guessed it to be around 4 to 5 years old

notes of rosemary and black cherries

with perfectly integrated background spicy oak

This was Isabelle Raveneau's wedding wine two years ago but it also has the energy and balance to improve and deepen in the cellar for many years

Colgin Cariad 2000 750mL Italy remarkably sweet tannin"Composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, I originally rated this 650 case cuvee 94 points. It is a lighter, softer, more velvety textured version of the 1999. A dense plum purple color is followed by sweet cranberry, black raspberry, roasted herb, coffee bean, white chocolate and subtle barbecue smoke characteristics." Wine Advocate, RP95, tasted 5 2011
