San Leonardo 2004

Cabernet Sauvignon 60%, Cabernet Franc 15%, Carmenère 15% and Merlot 10%. The year began cool and rainy but then warmed up and became more normal. A well-concentrated and intense ruby color. An intense bouquet, Bordeaux-like, nicely broad with scents of licorice and blueberry, some accents of alcohol just a tad prickly, but tending towards mineral. A full flavor, savory, with nice young tannins, luxuriant and plucky. A robust vintage, with personality, but still a very young wine. It finishes long and quite delicate.
