Ett fantastiskt vin med lång eftersmak. Årgång 2005 som skulle kunna lagrad många är till, men med underbar smak även nu. Bordeaux blandning av Cabernet sauvignon, Petit verdot och Merlot. Tilldelad 95+ Parker poäng, och årgång 2012 förväntas mellan 96-100 poäng.

Superb power and finesse. Complexity. Balance. Supple dark fruit, mulberry spice, cacao. Longevity. A truly remarkable iconic wine. But then again, it IS Joseph Phelps Insignia...
