This deep red/garnet wine was tasted from a special six-liter imperial which, in France, would be described as "ex-château." In America, we would describe it as a luscious wine that was served from a pristine-cellared imperial at the winery itself. Packed with plum, leather, spice and cigar box aromas, it goes on to flaunt similar flavors on a medium-bodied, silky palate. Solid in the middle and round on the lengthy finish, this is an aged Cab that has the bright fruit and soft textures to convert the masses (if they can afford it). Drink now-2023.

Outstanding bottle of wine, drank next to a 06 Heitz Martha's, the Chimney Rock was much better. Surprised me, I will have to start buying more Chimney Rock.
