Wine Notes: | Firm and chewy, with earthy herbal notes running through the currant and berry flavors, finishing a bit tough. Best after 2004. 22,000 cases imported. (Source: Wine Spectator, May 31, 2003). Deep ruby colour with aromas of cassis, roses, raspberry and forest floor. Dry, good fruit surrounded by ripe tannins. Warm on the mid-palate. Needs 3+ years to shine. Full-bodied, long cedar/fruit finish. (David Churchill, Vintages, July 2003). Food match: grilled rare steak. (Source: Vintages, September 2003). |
