This is a Viader Red Blend Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc 1995. For a 19 year old wine it still has good dark color, no browning on the edges. On the nose is dark fruit, tobacco, licorice, and herbal notes. Very good blackberry on the initial taste. The tannins are smooth but still gripping through the mid palate. There is a green vegetal note through the mid palate right to the backend. Good smokey oak and this wine still has several years it can last in bottle.

From 750ml. What a gorgeous wine. Sage and dried herbs on the nose at first, leading to complex citrus, stewed tea leaf, dry flowers and spices with more air. Aromatics are very a sexy. Makes me want to sit and just smell this for the next hour. Exotic wood and sweet molasses on the finish. If you have this in your cellars, what a treat right now. Drink up.
