This 2008 Insignia chosen to celebrate a Retirement after 39.5 years. Beautiful aromas of rich earth, blown dust and black fruit. The palate is is rich with blueberry, black current, vanilla, and subtle tannins adding to a long and elegant finish.

Soft rounded tannins enveloped by delicate dark fruit. Cassis, plum and berry. Just a treat. #wotn battle of the 05's and this was the winner.

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...
