Tasting Notes for Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

by j del c
Wine Tasted: 
Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
This wine is intense. The nose shows complex fruit, earth, leather and is accented with notes of black currant. Full and vibrant with perfectly integrated acids and tannin. Very lenghty and memorable finish.
I would serve this wine for: 
Steaks, intense mature cheese.
I shared this wine with: 
Various friends.
The nose on this wine reminds me of: 
What real cabernet smells like.
This wine would pair well with the following foods: 
Mature cheese like aged cheddar, fontina or steaks.
I think this wine is priced: 
about half of what other cabs of this quality go for!
If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that: 
it's not in my cellar in mass quantities.
