Phelps Insignia - 1999 (750ml) Size:750ml The wine has grippy acidity

The wine has grippy acidity and well integrated tannins with a well textured and round mouth feel

and an Arnold Schwartzenegger-like structure (when he was 25 years younger)

its delicate perfume unfolds with hints of raspberry and lemon distillates

but in 2006 the wine seems to verge in the direction of the more exotic

Phelps Insignia - 1999 (750ml) Size:750ml The wine has grippy acidityAn impressive black purple color is followed by aromas and flavors of melted licorice and creme de cassis, immense body, a voluptuous texture, and an opulent, multilayered palate. This is a fabulously concentrated, low acid yet super endowed wine. It is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 1% each of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. After its release in 2002, it should age effortlessly for 2 3 decades. Robert Parker 93 96 points
