Stopper: corkAbsolutely stunning wine. it has everything you would expect from Cab Sauv. Totally black color considering the vintage showed that it must have been black ink when young. This is one of my treasure from the celler. I am delighted how well it developed. I recently tasted the same Gran reserve 2008 vintage and it was nowhere near this one. The wine was 12 months in new French oak barrels.
P.S.look of the label is the same as this 1999 vintage i found on the web
