This is a textbook wine

Always a Bordeaux-inspired wine with restraint yet substance as well as a textured richness

there are also sweet honey and vanilla aromas

all supported by well-buried chalky minerality

and a dusting of cocoa

Fantesca Cabernet Sauvignon - 2002 (750ml) Size:750ml This is a textbook wineThis new brand, from veteran winemaker Nils Venge and friends, is excellent despite the awful name. It achieves that elusive goal of joining bigtime, ripe fruit with subtlety and charm to produce a wine of complexity. The cassis, cherry and oak flavors hit strong, then settle down and let the balance take over. 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
