Tasting notes
Blackish crimson. Very dramatically, though perhaps not very subtly, ripe nose. Good savour and sap. Fully integrated flavours but definite fine tannins on the finish. Very appetising but not for immediate drinking. (JR)

This is a lavishly fruity, toasty, seductive wine with no hard edges. It possesses terrific fat and a sweet, opulent, multi-layered style. Possessing a dense ruby/purple color along with copious quantities of black cherry liqueur, espresso, mineral, oak, and roasted nut characteristics, this layered, voluptuous, full-throttle effort should be drinkable in 2-3 years and last for 16+. A full-bodied wine, it is sexy stuff. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016.
Serious wine. Loads of chocolate, raspberry and cherry character. Full-bodied, with lots of vanilla and reduced raspberry flavors. Long and caressing. Modern and exciting. Best Couspaude I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 3,330 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2003
