Tasting notes
This dark ruby-colored wine offers spicy, smoky oak and soft, ripe, cherry and red currant flavors presented in a compressed but alluring, medium-bodied, finesse-filled format. Some tannin is present, but the overall impression is one of pretty fruit and a dry, crisp finish. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2010.

Perfumed and opulent, with blackberry, vanilla and mushroom aromas. Full-bodied and intensely tannic, with a velvety texture and a long, succulent aftertaste. Slightly astringent. Better after 2000.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 1998
