Tasting notes:A saturated black-purple, the 2009 Empress shows ripe rich aromas of cassis, nutmeg, blackberry pie, and mocha. Simultaneously silky and dense on the palate, this unfined wine is velvety and seamless with thoroughly integrated acidity and an enticing inner-mouth floral lift. A five-varietal Bordeaux blend based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, it is an expansive, savory, opulent wine with a full-bodied mouthfeel, silky tannins, and sensational concentration.
