Suave, Rhone-like weight and feel. Complex nose displays dark currants, black cherries, sweet herbs, and flowers. Beautifully balanced, this wine still has some richness in the mouth, but is beginning to show its age in a slightly attenuated finish. A most pleasant surprise from the deepest reaches of the cellar. - HK 2003-02-26
