De Fargues Duo Set 2000 & 2005 - Box set of 2 bottles

This is at once more elegant and spicier as well with its pretty combination of red currant

and great richness

Perhaps the finest wine yet made at Blankiet is the spectacular 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard

Araujo’s 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a picture perfect example of the year

This will live for decades and need at least 10 to 15 to be approachable with pleasure

The still very firm and backward middle weight plus flavors possess both excellent mid-palate density and plenty of minerality that carries over to the hugely long finish that is impeccably well-balanced

intellectual bouquet with scents of dried honey

The acidity seems reasonable but on the lower side

cedar wood and a rich

the 2011 impresses for its depth and polish

and an almost Graves-like scorched earth character

An absolutely compelling wine
