Lot #3969. Leonetti Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1998

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 96 WA.
"I could not help breaking into a smile when I tasted the medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. Its extraordinarily spicy, cherry syrup-scented nose leads to a flavor profile that explodes on the palate with substantial quantities of cherry syrup, raspberry coulis, and Asian spices. Gary Figgins' Cabernets can be as boisterous as Olivier Humbrecht's Gewurztraminers. The purity and power of the sweet, spicy fruit flavors found in this wine are truly extraordinary. Additionally, it possesses an extremely long, candied, sweet tannin-filled finish." Wine Advocate #137, Oct 2001
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $200
