Estimate
A very handsome bottle of this wine that did so wonderfully well in the famous first Judgment of Paris tasting... Wonderfully vibrant still with masses of obviously Cabernet ripe fruit & great balance. Admirably vigorous still.
Delicious when released, this continues to hold its rich, cassis, black-raspberry & mineral-scented and flavored fruit amazingly well. It is supple, deep & concentrated... not a hard edge to be found, fresh, clean, with a persuasive finish.
