carrying bright red-cherry flavor in attractively focused mode
with full-bodied depth and power that never seems heavy or cumbersome
"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain takes things to another level
more powerful than the other Bond '01s
which combines understated power and concentration with some tannic grip and refreshing acidity
1992 Dominus Estate Christian Moueix Champagne carrying bright red-cherry flavor in"The 1992 Dominus, of which there are 7,000 cases made from a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and the remainder Petit Verdot, is an opulent, opaquely concentrated wine with great ripeness of fruit, and a huge nose of earth, black cherries, mocha, and herbs. Full bodied, with a layered, multidimensional personality, adequate acidity, and a super finish. It is more forward than the 1991 or 1990." 97 100 Wine Advocate
