Estimate
Creme de cassis intermixed with flowers, espresso, and chocolate are offered in a full-bodied, remarkably elegant, well-delineated format. It should be drinkable young, yet keep for many years.
Brooding aromas of black fruits, minerals, violet and brown spices. Lush and sweet, with terrific texture and depth. A plush, huge fruit bomb of a red. Finishes very long and smooth, with sweet tannins.
Plush, rich blackberry, cassis, currant and wild berry flavors may be too ripe and sweet for some. Borders on off-dry. For fans of optimal ripeness and sheer Cabernet power, this winds up in the winner's circle.
