âDeep bright ruby. Superripe, brooding aromas of black fruits, maple syrup and licorice. Wonderfully sweet and minerally; a dense mouthful of cabernet, with medicinal, herbal and minty nuances adding complexity. Perhaps atypically massive for this wine. Finishes with major tannic clout, but the tannins are ripe and sweet. Shows a note of tobacco leaf on the end but avoids the eucalyptus quality that has long characterized this wine. Immediately after buying the property in 1997, explained Williams, Phelps pulled out the eucalyptus trees around the vines.â
