. VM. "Deep, bright ruby. Tarry, licorice-laced aromas of creme de mure, hot asphalt, pipe tobacco and clove. Rich, spicy and faintly roasted on the palate, offering concentrated, ripe flavors of fresh blackberry and cassis. Quite round and supple, even silky in texture. Finishes with fine, sweet tannins and a clinging ripe cassis flavor." Vinous, Jul 2005 |
