Wine Advocate

This is an elegant, suave, concentrated, dark plum/purple-colored wine with complex notes of cassis, vanilla, and assorted black fruits in its bouquet. Medium to full-bodied, with the tannin nicely obscured by the glycerin and fruit concentration, this is a pure, excellent, possibly outstanding effort displaying the vintage's power and tannic structure. However, the tannin is sweet, not astringent or vegetal. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016.
