95 DM. "The last vintage under consultant Giacomo Tachis, and he seems to have gone out on a high after what was a cooler summer. Signalling the direction the blend takes under his successor, Merlot is up at 25%, Cabernet Sauvignon is reduced to 63%, and Alicante is 12%. Intensity, freshness, complexity, tension and length all come together behind a lively, bright colour, concentrated, sweet black fruit, cedar, spice and sandalwood notes, with hints of menthol and dark chocolate."
