2018 Colgin, IX Estate, Napa Valley, California, USA

Description

The has an incredibly deep and complex nose, combining sweet raspberries, blackberries and blackcurrants with vanilla cream. With time, a dark perfume emerges with an edge of elderflower and raspberry cordial. A high level of tannin has initial grip but then melts away like snowflakes. Succulent fruit rolls around the palate; the flavours become more savoury with each taste, bringing a pure, mineral finish, almost like water running off granite. This wine is so concentrated yet also so elegant – an unbelievable juxtaposition of power and restraint. Drink 2026-2065.
