Colgin Cariad 2000 750mL Italy notes of rosemary and black

notes of rosemary and black cherries

it's a series of seeming paradoxes—in this case

that is compensated by a sense of detail and freshness

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 notes of rosemary and black"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
