2006 Maybach, Materium, Oakville 1×1.5L

Robert Parker 95

Virtually all Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2006 Materium boasts complex notes of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, licorice, new saddle leather, and loamy soil undertones. The wine possesses extraordinary purity and texture as well as full-bodied power, elegance, sweet, velvety tannins, and impeccable balance. It can be drunk now and over the next 25+ years. www.materium.com [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 22/12/2009]
