Clos Saron Cabernet Sauvignon "Once Upon a Time" 1996

It is medium plus bodied, with considerable concentration, density, and solid “architecture” (especially considering that the vintage, 1996, was probably the lightest ever at Renaissance). Initial tightness gives way to warm velvety richness with time and exposure to air. Excellent balance and length, real depth and aromatic complexity. Nothing showy about this one, it just rocks.
