Tuesday, October 3, 2006 - This is definitely not a "blockbuster" vintage of Insignia but this wine showed off some winemaking finesse. The balance was superb. There are still some tannins in the finish but for the most part the wine seemed ready to drink. We've had this wine several times and this is the first one with some secondary characteristics. It was very tight upon opening but after an hour or so in the decanter it opened up. [Recommend at least an hour decant]
