forest floor and herbaceous characteristics

mulberries

It is an outstanding wine

it will offer a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2026

I have actually picked it as a right bank Pomerol because of the lushness and succulence of the cedary

Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon - 1998 (750ml) Grenache forest floor and herbaceous characteristicsThe 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is evolved. A plum ruby color is followed by aromas of toasty oak, tobacco, black currants, smoke, and spice box. In the mouth, it is medium bodied, with excellent fruit on the attack, some real charm and roundness, but the finish is filled with astringent tannin. If this wine continues to hold its fruit, it is going to be a Bordeaux styled, medium weight Cabernet Sauvignon to drink over the next 12 14 years.
