"From a 0.7 ha parcel that was partially replanted in 1985 and the remainder in 1989. Spicy black fruit liqueur like aromas are liberally laced with violet, sandalwood, Asian tea and dried rose petal . . . . The opulent, suave and impressively rich large-scaled flavors possess good power and punch on the highly seductive mid-palate before concluding in a mineral-inflected and slightly warm finish. This is suave and opulent to the point of being almost thick and while the density is impressive in its fashion, it would be fair to describe this as well made but stylistically particular.
