Rubicon 2006
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesFrancis Ford Coppola is on a mission to restore this property to its original form in the glory days of Inglenook and it's moving in the right direction. Look for plum jam and smoky, vanilla, coffee, cassis aromas flecked with meaty, peppery, menthol, saddle leather, cedar and chocolate notes. The attack is rich and ripe, the palate warm with fine grainy tannins. More plum, cassis jam, coffee, vanilla, cedar and tobacco combine with chocolate pudding, clove and kirsch flavours with a cigar and clove finish. Suave and intense but warm with lots of ripe fruit and oak. Drink through 2017.Tasted: 21 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $125.00 | 750ml | srp |
