This is an example of a wine that has gained considerable weight since I tasted it in 2000 and 2001. It is exotic and sexy, with a cunning display of super-ripe mocha and toast-infused, jammy black cherry fruit, low acidity, and a savory personality. It appears ready to drink, but will undoubtedly take on more delineation and structure as its ages in the bottle. It is a luxuriously rich, decadent 100% Merlot that will be at its finest between 2004-2015.
Subtle and yummy, with lovely ripe plum character, hints of dried fruits and spices. Full-bodied, with soft and round tannins and a delicious, succulent finish. One of the wines of the vintage.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
