Tasting notes
Deep crimson. Hint of brett and a real lack of fresh fruit – though no shortage of rustic tannins. Hard work and no refreshment factor. (JR)

This wine has completely shut down after being in bottle for several years. It still has an impressively saturated ruby/purple color and a nose of sweet berry fruit intermixed with licorice, tapenade, mineral, and herbs. The wine is deep, medium-bodied, with excellent purity and some relatively elevated and rustic tannin in the finish which may not become fully integrated. In any event, this wine needs extended cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Last tasted, 3/02.
Impressive dark color. Lots of ripe fruit and black licorice character, with a mineral undertone. Full-bodied, tight and silky. Give this time.--'95/'96 Bordeaux retrospective. Best after 2008. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2007
