點擊次數(shù)：21406

The saturated purple 2007 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, vanilla, cinnamon, black cherry, and black currant. Impressively structured and well-balanced, this dense Cabernet demands 3-4 years of cellaring after which it will drink beautifully from 2012 to 2022. The d’Arenberg portfolio is loaded with values. The winery works with over 140 growers to fashion their superb blends. For the 2008 vintage, the entry-level The Stump Jump series has been expanded.

A bit austere and astringent, with vibrant cherry fruit weighed down by a full allotment of cedary oak. This medium-bodied Cabernet should be more balanced by 2014, but will likely always remain on the tough side. Best to pair it with rare beef or lamb.——J.C.(11/1/2010)—— 86
