Deep black cherry, black olive and complex, mineral-licorice aromas reflect classic Rutherford. One of the most powerful Georges de Latour Cabernets in recent years, the dark berry flavors are framed by powerful, rich tannins. Well balanced and full-bodied, the finish features the dense minerality and structure typical of Clones 6 and 4. Pairs well with roast beef, leg of lamb, Fontina, Stilton or Montgomery's Cheddar cheeses.

Wine Enthusiast It's young, dry, tight and tannic, although there's obviously a core of ripe black currant and cherry fruit. To evaluate this wine properly, you have to know its history as one of Napa's most ageable Cabernets. Still, it's not a great Georges. Hold until 2008 through 2010, but it could surprise. Score: 92. —Steve Heimoff, December 01, 2005.
