WINE =======: 1979 Joseph Phelps Insignia
Tasting Date: 2003-11-20
Varietal    : Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
Score       : 91
Region      : Napa Valley

Notes
-----
Pink-to-blood color with amber traces, nuances of red meat,
glycerine, medium bodied, hard tannins, alcoholic taste,
fleshy and substantive finish. Completely different style
than all the other vintages and likely past its prime if not
evocative of questionable storage conditions.

I was basically thrown off by going for the earliest vintage
first. However, it became obvious after completing the
flight that Phelps is emphisizing the improved quality and
style in their newer wines.

Additional Notes
----------------
This is from a special Insignia vertical wine tasting at Disneyworld/Epcot
during their "Food and Wine Experience".
