Tasting Note: Displaying a rich, saturated purple hue, this wine exudes a blockbuster nose of blackcurrants, cassis, chocolate, cedary spice, and hints of espresso. On the palate, it is velvety-textured, full-bodied, and concentrated, with flawless balance. With time in the glass, it opens up further, revealing an abundance of fruit and texture. A truly remarkable wine that captivates the senses.
Accolades: This extraordinary wine possesses an enormous wealth of black cherry, blueberry, cassis and espresso flavors, wrapped in fine, well-toasted oak. Has that rare quality of elegance, in which all the parts work together in harmony. Thoroughly dry, it's marked by a firm, astringent tannic structure now, but is a certain cel lar candidate. Should begin to blossom by 2008 and hold through 2015.
