Score 89-92/100 · Pierre Rovani, Aug 1998
Displaying a medium-to-dark ruby color and mineral-dusted cassis and blackberry scents, this wine is a full-bodied, juicy, powerful, and velvety-textured wine that is crammed with plump blueberries and blackberries. This concentrated, structured (yet lush), and expressive wine possesses an admirable and supple finish. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524.

Deep color. More oaky aromas of black cherry, redcurrant and spice. At once sweeter and firmer-edged on the palate, with an impression of stronger acidity. Finishes slightly tough and a bit dry.
