Magnafique Vertical

A cousin was in town last week and came by for dinner. We had a 06 and 07 Magnafique along with a sesame steak for dinner. Both the 06 and 07 are drinking very well, with the edge going to the 06. I liked the cab flavors in the 06 better and it made me anticipate the 09 Magnafique that will be more cabernet with some Cabernet Franc.
 
Tonight I opened an 08 Magnafique to see how it is coming along--and it drank beautifully!  The darkest of the 3 in color--very well made and balanced. A lovely nose. Loads of fruit with some herbaceousness, a full mouth-feel and a nice lingering finish. I'm certainly proud of how the blend turned out!
 
(Chest Thumping) We make good wine!
