"Full saturated ruby. Inky, brooding aromas of syrupy black fruits and violet. Dense, thick and tactile, with superb depth of flavor and compelling juicy sweetness. Finishes with powerful tannins and superb grip. Not as flamboyantly aromatic as this wine normally is in its youth, but structured for long, slow development in bottle." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, May 2000
Provenance: The Dogwood Cellar
Notes: 9 very lightly scuffed labels, 1 nicked label, damaged
