Our
2007 ISOSCELES offers an opaque, dense purple-black core with barely
perceptible color change to the rim, indicating extraordinarily high
extract and viscosity. The nose is variable over a several minute
review: black and blue fruit, firm but inviting oak notes of cinnamon
and nutmeg, and a sense of just-roasted dark-roast coffee beans. Later, a
note of dark cocoa; a dash of black pepper; a drop of vanilla.
The palate reveals an immensely flavored wine, repeating the black fruit
intensity and powerful tannins typical of this brilliant vintage. The
finish is stately, regal, long. This gorgeous ISOSCELES is the most
cellar-worthy since the legendary 1997. Hooray! |
