A delightfully harmonious and rewarding wine. Still showing some youthful tannin, this is an elegant wine, full-flavored but not at all clumsy, displaying an excellent nose of dark cherry, orange peel, and enticing floral notes, a ripe, fruit-filled, but balanced mouth feel, and a clean, extensive finish. Because of its weight and balance, a top-notch food wine. - WB Team 2002-11-13
