The 2001 Caravina (primarily Cabernet Sauvignon) reveals some rustic, hard tannin in the finish, but there is a beautiful bouquet of black fruits intermixed with tobacco leaf, loamy soil, and roasted meats. Medium-bodied and ruggedly tannic, it is capable of lasting for a decade. I am not sure the tannin will ever mesh completely with the wine, but there is a lot going on. Tel.
