Tasting note: Bright red-ruby. Very complex, inviting,
slightly roasted nose combines cassis, molasses, dark chocolate,
espresso, herbs and mellow oak tones. Lush, sweet, dense and ripe, but
with firm acidity and flinty minerality giving verve to the
quintessential cabernet flavors of currant and fresh herbs. Finishes
with dusty, sweet tannins. The best vintage of this bottling that come
my way in some time. (91pts. Stephen Tanzer)
