"Bright red-ruby. Vibrant, complex nose combines redcurrant, raspberry, smoked meat, minerals and tarry, smoky oak. Densely packed but juicy, with enticing restrained sweetness, incipient gamey complexity and compelling inner-mouth aromatics. Perfectly integrated acids contribute to the impression of seamlessness. Velvety but not fat or heavy. Finishes with lush tannins and slow-building, subtle flavors. Comes across as far less oaky than the '99 Cirsion, and clearly more minerally than the '98 Roda II."
