Dense ruby/purple in color with wonderful purity of creme de cassis. It is that black currant liqueur purity richness and depth that is one of the shining characteristics of this wine. Extraordinarily pure the wine is full-bodied opulent and concentrated but still young and primary. There is plenty of tannin underlying the wealth of fruit and if anything the wine seems to have firmed up.
Ratings: 95 points by Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate Dec 2006.
