De Martino Legado Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine

Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, this concentrated Cabernet has ripe, smooth tannins that fill the mouth. Slightly firm, with sage and cedar notes running through the currant, loam and coffee flavors. There's good depth on the finish, even if this is a bit brawny in style. Wine Spectator 88 Points

Spicy, fresh and quitevibrant, exclaims DecanterMagazine. Inky ruby. Primary, grapey aromas of blackberry and candied read more...plum. Youthful and tightly wound, with pure, sweet cassis and dark cherry flavors nicely supported by solid tannic structure. This should be interesting in a year or so. -International Wine Cellar    (hide)
