Score 95/100 · Drink 2000-2007, Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998

This wine is extraordinary. Medium-to-dark ruby-colored, its awesome aromatics reveal fruit cake, cinnamon, spicy chutney, and assorted red fruits. This is a sexy, intense, decadent, and full-bodied gem crammed with loads of sweet cherries, perfume, flowers, and spices. Imagine covering a basket of fresh cherries with chutney, throwing in some freshly cut flowers, a touch of raspberry jam, and a sprinkling of grenadine liqueur. The mouth-watering flavors continue to coat the palate for what seems like minutes. Projected maturity: 2000-2007. Bravo!
