Very intense, deep ruby colour. Hints of ripe red fruit, tobacco, cedar and truffles. Very clean and aromatically intense. Well balanced with noble tannins that are the result of lengthy aging in oak. Flavoursome anf full-bodied with hints of liquorice.

I stand by my note dated 11/22/2003 and would like to add that it has many more years ahead.

Very dark red. Sweet aromas of wild fruit, leather, peaches, prunes and vanilla. Full body, with a good balance and lovely acidity. Concentrated flavors of very ripe grapes, combined with chocolate, prunes, a little licorice, and noticeable tasty oak. Good finish with a strong aftertaste. Overall, a very good red wine, that though isn’t incredibly complex, provides a wonderful solid experience. This should reach its peak in a few years, and cellar nicely for many more.
