Lot #890. Joseph Phelps Insignia 2001

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 99 RP.
"The sensational, prodigious 2001 Insignia Proprietary Red Wine (89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec) has never performed better. Still extremely youthful with a dense purple color as well as a beautiful bouquet of cedar, charcoal, incense, creme de cassis and black cherry jam, fabulous intensity, a multidimensional mouthfeel and a skyscraper-like texture, it is a Napa classic that is still very youthful and belies its age of ten years. Like its stablemate, it should age impeccably for 35 or more years. Kudos to Joseph Phelps Vineyards!" Wine Advocate #195, Jun 2011
Provenance: The Irlandais Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $300
