Colgin Cariad 2000 750mL Italy tasted 1/2018"Composed of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, I originally rated this 650 case cuvee 94 points. It is a lighter, softer, more velvety textured version of the 1999. A dense plum purple color is followed by sweet cranberry, black raspberry, roasted herb, coffee bean, white chocolate and subtle barbecue smoke characteristics." Wine Advocate, RP95, tasted 5 2011
