"[Bright medium ruby. Roasted plum, meat and nutty oak on the nose. Very sweet, deep flavors of cassis, chocolate and licorice, given shape and clarity by sappy, harmonious acids. Broad, lush and full but also boasts terrific vinosity. Finishes long, smooth and sweet, with chewy, ripe, toothcoating tannins. Impressive." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Sep/Oct 04 |
