Atalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Napa Valley, California, United States The colour is dark. The nose very spicy with smoky, cassis jam, black berry and vanilla aromas and just a touch of cloves and leather in the background. It's rich, and concentrated with big yet supple, round tannins and intense spicy, clove, vanilla, black berry and orange peel flavours. Pepper and olives dust a long and balanced finished. Fine potential here for ageing although it's much more integrated at this stage than the 1999. Excellent effort.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $66.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
