1999 deLorimier Mosiac

[winoweenie]

My 1st encounter with this wine(after tasting and buying a box on the spot). Beautifully balanced blend of 65% Cabernet, 13% Merlot, 13% Malbec, and 9% Cab Fraanc. Medium brite ruby. Seductive aroma that features red fruits and floral notes combined with spiciness verging to the sweet side, and a smidgin of vanilla. Would have guessed a Bordeaux had it been blind. Soft, supple entry, solid center and beautiful 4+lapper finish. Still has some silky tannins to shed. Should improve for another 3-5. Solid effort. 91/93. 30 by the box. 14.3% alc. WW
