From Colgin’s first-growth quality estate vineyard, Tychson Hill, located north of St. Helena, on the western slopes, the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill Vineyard is performing far better out of bottle than it did from cask. An extraordinary bouquet of flowers, cedar, tobacco leaf, black currants, blueberries, chocolate, and scorched earth scents is followed by a wine of prodigious concentration, purity, depth, and sweet tannins. An amazing effort for this vintage, it is a compelling bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromas of rust, mahogany, dark fruits, and spices like curry and jasmine. Full bodied and deep, with so much fruit and round, polished tannins. This is shy and reserved at the moment. I love the cashmere texture to this. Still needs some time. Don't touch this until 2015.
