anise and spice

It should drink well for up to 15 years or so

If it develops as I think it will

but that's not always a good thing

aged in two-thirds foudre and one-third demi-muids and drawn exclusively from sandy sites

Inglenook, Rubicon other_regions_australia anise and spiceThe deep garnet colored 2009 Rubicon contains 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Merlot. It has a fairly mature nose of leather, cigar box and baking spices over a core of prunes, dried mulberries and raisin cake with touches of sauted herbs and incense. Medium to full bodied, the palate has evolved, savory and earth inspired flavors with a chewy texture and stewed tea laced finish.
