A huge, powerfully tannic, backward wine that will require considerable patience. The color is a dense purple. This wine was not easy to evaluate, but as it sat in the glass, its thickness and impressive credentials became obvious. Sweet cherry liqueur, kirsch, cassis, dried herbs, cedar, and toasty oak gradually emerge from the wine's restrained aromatics. The palate is inundated with exceptional concentration, ferocious tannin, and high levels of extract. This is a backward wine, but it appears to possess the intense concentration needed to match its tannin. RParker THIS WINE HAS FINALLY FOUND ITS PLACE. GE

98 vintage. Mix of black and red fruit but not enough of it relative to tannins. Decanted and served over two days but only glimpses of the wine it was, pity
