Lot #31. Joseph Phelps Insignia 2000

Description: Consists of 4 Magnums, 1.5L
Score: 92+ ST.
"Good bright medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose of cassis, crushed blackberry, violet, cola, cedar, mint chocolate and shoe polish, with enticing spicy high tones. Sweet and lush but penetrating, with lovely vinosity giving shape to the black fruit and mineral flavors. Surprisingly expressive in the middle palate but finishes with youthfully tough, molar-coating tannins . . ." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 2003

Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $600
