I almost did not buy this wine. But, I was willing to try it. It is a beautiful, full bodied deep ruby red (with purple tinge). We decanted it at least for 30 mins and the bouquet is gorgeous with burning embers, black currants, cherries and licorice. Medium-bodied, gorgeously fruity, lushly textured, well-balanced, and with a long finish is what it is described as. Robert Parker gave this one a 89 (above average), but I loved it enough to get two more for the cellar. So how did they do for 2005? 2005 is considered a stellar year for these wines and it is a consistent producer. At around $25 a bottle it is an excellent wine.
Buy Factor: Absolutely anytime. I am waiting to see the 2005 release. |
