1999 Von Strasser Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Vineyard Diamond Mountain Diamond Mountain (750ml)

"90(+?) out of 100 - Full red-ruby. Aromatic, floral nose dominated by cassis; the least herbal of the 1999 Von Strasser reds. Full, fat and deep, with a lovely layered texture and solid underlying structure. Accurate cabernet flavors of black- and redcurrant enlivened by firm acidity. Some earthy low tones add complexity. This has more stuffing, as well as more substantial tannins that call for at least four or five years of cellaring." - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com
