This wine has completely shut down after being in bottle for several years. It still has an impressively saturated ruby/purple color and a nose of sweet berry fruit intermixed with licorice, tapenade, mineral, and herbs. The wine is deep, medium-bodied, with excellent purity and some relatively elevated and rustic tannin in the finish which may not become fully integrated. In any event, this wine needs extended cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. Last tasted, 3/02.
