which gives it a sweet character

but in 2006 the wine seems to verge in the direction of the more exotic

The wine has grippy acidity and well integrated tannins with a well textured and round mouth feel

its delicate perfume unfolds with hints of raspberry and lemon distillates

Phelps Insignia - 1999 (750ml) Size:750ml which gives it a sweetAn impressive black purple color is followed by aromas and flavors of melted licorice and creme de cassis, immense body, a voluptuous texture, and an opulent, multilayered palate. This is a fabulously concentrated, low acid yet super endowed wine. It is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 1% each of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. After its release in 2002, it should age effortlessly for 2 3 decades. Robert Parker 93 96 points
