Medium ruby-red. Highly nuanced nose combines currant, chocolate, dried flowers and sexy nutty oak. Sweet, silky and rich; lush and seamless. Captivating red berry and milk chocolate flavors are complemented by perfumed notes of herbs and licorice. Finishes impressively horizontal, with ripe, palate-dusting tannins.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2010-2020, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2006
Bertheau included dollops of Merlot and Malbec (3% each) in his spice and blackberry-scented 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Ethos. A highly concentrated, intense effort, it is awash in cassis, licorice, tar, and wild berries. Structured and tannic, this deep, powerful wine demands cellaring. Projected maturity: 2010-2020. Tel.
