Joseph Phelps Insignia 1992

At fifteen years, this wine is amazing. The nose had mocha, cherry, currant and some light herb touches. On the palate, the tannins were refined and graceful -- like a silken glove. The aftertaste coated the mouth and lingered for what seemed like minutes. A fantastic, fantastic wine that easily has years of life left in it. Recent California vintages cannot match this wine. Four and a half out of five stars -- and I am sooo glad I have another bottle.
