2007 Staglin, 25th Anniversary Selection Cabernet Sauvignon, Bottle (750ml) [Slightly Soiled Label]

RP96 "Noteworthy as the "25th Anniversary Selection," the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a medium to deep garnet color and expressive notes of crème de cassis, baked cherries, blackberry preserves and cigar box with suggestions of dried Provence herbs, new leather, garrigue and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied with a taut structure of firm, grainy tannins and lively acidity, it has a great core of exuberant blue and black fruits with loads of savory layers coming through on the long finish." LPB for TWA Aug 2018

Robert Parker writes, "The sensational 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (their 25th anniversary selection) may be the best wine Staglin has ever made. Tasting like a classic Margaux or St.-Julien, it offers up notes of new saddle leather, cedar, spice box, black currants, black cherries and hints of graphite and wood. This full-bodied, intense 2007 is still extremely young, but it is beautifully proportioned with a seamless integration of all the component parts. A brilliant effort, it admirably reflects its appellation. Moreover, it should drink beautifully over the next 20-25 years." 96 Pts Published: Dec 22, 2010
