2010 Colgin, IX Estate, Napa Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 97

Colgin’s 2010 IX Estate opens with sweet, exotic aromatics before more savory elements start to emerge from the glass. A superb example of a wine that manages to be both flashy and true to its site, the 2010 has it all. Over time, the 2010 just gets better and better. The IX Estate is one of the wines that benefits most from double-decanting. Watching that transformation unfold is fascinating, to say the least. [Antonio Galloni, 06/01/2015]
