Rich and complex Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon (80%), Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from the cooperation between Antinori from Toscana and Chateau Ste Michelle from Red Mountain. Elegance is the name of the game, with ripe plums, cherries, raspberries and a second layer of cedar. Again, not really impressive as expected but very elegant.

More cedar than the '02 and the '06, more secondary development, more settled. Pepper and cedar, plenty of cream and cherry on the palate, chocolate. This blend and vintage shows better balance.

Brick color; beautiful nose with hints of black cherry. On palate, delicious soft layers of gentle tannins. At its peak now, keeping very well with a long long finish. Keeping it is a waste - enjoy now

Beautiful nose. Gentle tannins. Black cherry, currents, black pepper. Medium bodied on the back side, lingers. Delish
