2004 Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Vineyard (Red Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend)
Still very dark, with only a slight fade at the rim. Black cherries, blueberries and spices form the powerful nose that is very enticing. The medium to full body delivers a sense of power without taking things too far. The dark fruits dominate the palate while the spices take on an almost candied flavour creating plenty of complexity. A blend of mostly Cab Franc and Merlot, this has suprisingly big shoulders for those varietals. A long finish with plenty of life still.
Excellent
