Joseph Phelps Insignia 1992 (pt. 2)

I first had this wine a few months ago, and it was spectacular. So, last night, when the lovely young lady and I joined a couple at Gary Danko for dinner, this wine seemed like a perfect choice to have with the meal.

And it was.

Cherry, mocha, tobacco, and eucalyptus on the nose, with even stronger hints of mint on the palate. The tannins were smooth and silky, and the wine lingered for minutes. An exceptional wine, and one I would love to get more bottles of. Has many, many years of life left to it. Four and a half stars out of five.
