1994 Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valleymore |
10/13/2006 - ricovino wrote: 94 pointsTasting group 10-13 - 94 Washington cabs. Opened and decanted 2 1/2 hours before the tasting. This bottle showed well and was the number 1 wine for the group. Deep garnet with no signs of bricking, toated oak, cherry, chocolate, full balanced mouth feel with a long finish. Unusual for a Leonetti, which I have generally found to loose their balance at this age in the bottle. Outstanding. |

Still quite a bit of life, deep garnet with minimal signs of bricking, great extraction, toasted oak, balanced, tannins starting to resolve, chocolate, tobacco, and dark cherry, long lingering finish with great mouth feel. Excellent bottle. |
