"Bright, youthful medium ruby. Deep, claret-like scents of blackcurrant, tobacco leaf, spices and graphite. Plush and utterly seamless on entry, with terrific vinosity giving definition and lift to the intense, mineral-driven palate. At once utterly edge-free and pungent, this savory, penetrating wine is an essence of Oakville. And the Petit Verdot component is still keeping it under wraps today. Finishes with a powerful spine of tannins and outstanding slow-building length and lift."
