Tasting notes
This wine has turned out to be lighter than I initially thought. Nevertheless, it is a pleasant cranberry and cherry-scented and flavored effort with considerable finesse, medium body, and undeniable elegance. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.

A delicate and fruity wine with some tobacco and mineral character. Light and fresh on the finish. Drink now.James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2000
