The 1996 Cabernet exhibits an opaque purple color, followed by a green pepper, spicy, licorice, and red currant-scented nose. In the mouth, there is some leanness, and the flavors are more red than black currants. Moderate tannin in the finish gives the wine a certain angularity/austerity. This is a good, well-structured, cleanly made wine for consuming over the next 4-5 years.This is a modern-styled red from the appellation of Penedes in Spain's Catalonia region.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.
