Carmody McKnight 2005 Cadenza (estate meritage)
This is a wine with more depth than I've tasted. A special occasion vino if you will!!!:) The nose is quite rich. Scents of currant, berries, black cherry, and oak. On the palate this wine is huge, we found it needs at least 45 minutes of decanting to achieve its potential. Cadenza is spicy yet smooth. This wine is very complex and very deep. Flavors of current, black cherry and ripe plums followed by velvety tannins that fill the entire mounth. The finish lingers...and lingers...and lingers, evolving throughout. The wine will continue to evolve and cellar very well. Cadenza has lived up to the hype. This is a true gem. I just poured another glass from the original bottle...it is still evolving. For $26, I would put this wine up against the $50+ bottles anyday. Buying a case. This wine makes me happy.
