Estimate
...aromatic nose of cassis fruit, vanillin, and a touch of licorice, outstanding concentration, a rich, velvety-textured palate, and a chewy, supple, long finish. Accessible and more flattering to drink than the 1990 Reserve,...
Firm and compact, with a tight band of currant, plum, spice and oak flavors that need short-term cellaring to soften and evolve. While the fruit is chunky, the style is elegant and it's our guess that time will be kind to this wine.
