Description
The 2006 Cabernet Bosché is opaque dark red in appearance, with aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, cinnamon and clove, inclusive of green olive and aromatic cedar. The integration of oak adds hints of walnut oil as well as cigar box and tobacco. With intense depth, yet elegantly balanced, the flavors of black currant, cedar, and full cherry-berry abound. This wine is full-flavored from start to finish, a cabernet collector's delight.
