"Bright, deep ruby-red. Superripe aromas of dark berry confiture, minerals and bitter chocolate; shows a port-like inky quality. Fat, thick and oaky, with strong bitter chocolate flavor. Broad and creamy but not yet filled in. A wine of great volume, depth and length, offering extraordinary potential. This really transcends the vintage." Vinous, Apr 2003 |
