2001 Drinkward Peschon Cabernet Sauvignon Entre Deux Meres

Full medium red. Inviting, ripe scents of plum, raspberry, mocha, tobacco and cocoa powder, plus a balsamic hint; I was reminded of a maturing Pomerol. Silky, fine-grained, easygoing wine with a firm edge of harmonious acidity and good balance. Verges on plush but there's no shortage of energy, and the tongue-dusting tannins give the finish good grip. With its enticing lingering flavors of red fruits, tobacco, chocolate and spices, this wine offers sexy sweetness and mouthfilling appeal right now.
