The 2004 Icaria Cabernet Sauvignon
is a special wine. Admiring the elegant label and cracking the wax seal (versus tearing sharp foil) sets the mood. Pouring, smelling, tasting confirms your first impressions. The flavor is powerful and memorable. A perfect balance of tanins and fruits. There are berries galore here, but it’s not overwhelmingly jammy. I swear, the flavor lasts on the palette forever, exiting back through your nose as you exhale. What is that taste? I’m closing my mouth after swallowing, and exhaling very slowly through my nose again. So pleasant.
If you’ve got this wine, or are familiar with it, or if my review inspires you to try it, please comment here and let me know what tastes it brings to mind. Searching for the answer is a wonderful experience.
