Lot #1562. Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon Herb Lamb Vineyard 1998

Description: Consists of 2 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 93 ST.
"Deep ruby. Exotic, complex nose features smoky raspberry, black cherry, grilled nuts and an intriguing floral nuance. Juicy, dense and intensely flavored, with impressive sweetness for the year; notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, roast coffee and dill. The acids come across as firm for a wine with a pH of 3.9. The floral character, which comes from the volcanic tufa soil on this very steep, terraced, northeast-facing hillside, repeats on the long finish, which features lush, soft tannins rare for the vintage. Developing nicely; this may not get much additional racking before it is bottled in May, says new winemaker Mark Aubert, who took over from Helen Turley last spring." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jun 2000
Provenance: The Tower Cellar
