<p>In 2010 there was a change of winemaker at Rubicon, and the new arrival was Philippe Bascaules from Ch&acirc;teau Margaux. He soon made changes that were, one assumes, aimed at bringing more elegance and less density to the wine. This is certainly apparent here - the nose is ripe and vibrant, with intense mint and blackberry aromas that display purity of fruit and well-judged oak. Suave and polished, it shows finer tannins than the 2006, and enough acidity to give punch and persistence. It has a drier finish than most Napa Cabernets, which often have a sweetness that may be derived from high alcohol. So, there&#39;s a welcome austerity here and this will age well.</p>
