Duckhorn Cabernet Sauvignon Three Palms 2012
Dark and brooding in the glass, it offers a stunning bouquet of black currant, chocolate, and new leather. The palate is ultra-rich and fleshy, offering intense layers of black cherry, cassis, spice box, and a classy frame of complexity and texture that impresses from the start. This is densely packed and will age gracefully for at least a decade.
