Colgin, IX Estate Vintage:2006 There is a lovely mouth

There is a lovely mouth feel to the attractively intense and well-concentrated flavors that coat the palate with dry extract before culminating in a refined

short and clipped finish where the supporting tannins are tough to the point of being borderline hard

black and blue fruit

Massive and decadent on the palate

terrific thrust and sneaky rising floral perfume

Colgin, IX Estate Vintage:2006 There is a lovely mouth(69% cabernet sauvignon, 13% merlot, 11% cabernet franc and 7% petit verdot), Saturated ruby. Blackberry, spices and graphite on the nose. Broad and rich but also magically airy in the mouth, with compelling perfume to the dark fruit and mineral flavors. A very dark, deep, young wine with terrific finishing grip. Here, too, the substantial tannins will require at least five years of patience. Stephen Tanzer
