Aged in 100% French oak, the dense ruby/plum/purple-colored 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series offers textbook aromas of tobacco, cedar, cassis, and new oak in addition to deep, full-bodied flavors with good acidity, moderate tannin, and excellent texture. Long, persuasive, rich, and well-balanced, it will be at its finest between now and 2015. Impressive! Importer: Old Bridge Cellars (Rob McDonald), Napa, CA; tel. (707) 258-9552

1996 年份的這款葡萄酒現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)處于最佳飲用期，第一層果香同第二層酵香已經(jīng)充分融合，達到了完美的平衡。該酒的風味中帶有干香料和藥草的味道，這些味道與醋栗、雪松和香煙的味道交融在一起，分外迷人。評分：89。
