Tasting Notes and Scores

91-93 PR

This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine exhibits lovely aromas of freshly cut flowers and perfumed red fruit. This full-bodied, powerful, fresh, highly-concentrated and extracted wine is packed with blackberries, cassis, and oak flavors that linger throughout its refined and admirably long finish. Projected maturity: 2004-2010. This wine is more concentrated and extracted than what I am used to at Maison Joseph Drouhin. Importer: Dreyfus Ashby, New York, NY; tel (212) 818-0770.
