A very good Cabernet Sauvignon-based Bordeaux blend from Agustin Huneeus. While it would not be true to say it’s a second wine of Quintessa, it does show the balance and integrity of that bottling, with a firm structure and dramatically layered black currant, mineral and cedar flavors. Will undoubtedly age. Best now through 2011, at least.

Rustic, with some minty flavors along with sweet, jammy fruit, and the oak is a little heavy. A big drop after the 2005 vintage.

Oak completely overwhelms this wine. All you can smell and taste is char, caramel and wood spice, and the tannins, which are partly from oak barrels, are dense and hard. It’s difficult even to discern any underlying fruit flavors, although if you try hard, you stumble across blackberries.
