Rubicon 2003
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesSpicy, vanilla, chocolate, tobacco, black cherry, pencil lead, earthy, floral nose. Dry, fat, ripe palate with lots of grainy, round tannins. Big cedar, coffee, vanilla, peppery, black cherry, cassis jam, mineral, tobacco, earthy, olive flavours. Very warm with a touch of acidity and good length. Needs 3-5 years to round out but also drinkable young with the smoother tannins.Tasted: 16 September 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $115.00 | 750ml | suggested retail |
