Colgin, IX Estate other_regions it is impossible to ignore

it is impossible to ignore the wine’s richness and depth

but manages to deliver - and then some

the substantial tannins will require at least five years of patience

youthfully austere and built-to-age finish that just goes on and on

chopped almonds and oyster shells plus a waft of baker's yeast

Colgin, IX Estate other_regions it is impossible to ignore(69% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot, 11% cabernet franc and 7% petit verdot), Saturated ruby. Blackberry, spices and graphite on the nose. Broad and rich but also magically airy in the mouth, with compelling perfume to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. A very dark, deep, young wine with terrific finishing grip. Here, too, the substantial tannins will require at least five years of patience. Stephen Tanzer
