This is decadent and earthy with meat and mushroom. Full and juicy. Delicious and opulent now.

Dark, bright ruby. Blackberry, black cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate on the rather floral nose; slightly porty but fresh. Dense and thick but currently a bit clenched, and dominated by its structure. Lively black fruit, violet and bitter chocolate flavors linger on the firmly tannic finish.

Deep ruby/purple, with sweet black currant and cherry fruit offered in a medium to full-bodied, ripe style with moderate tannin and a long finish, this wine could turn out to be a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2016. - Robert Parker (Wine Advocate #146 - April 2003)
