Rating: 90/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 84, May/June 1999 Good ruby-red. Ripe aromas of currant, tobacco, leather, smoke and game. Sweetly penetrating currant and cherry flavors in the mouth; rich and nicely balanced, with a silky texture. Opening nicely. Tannins are substantial but ripe.

Deep, dark, garnet-red colour. Sweet, fruity aroma reminiscent of warm grapes. Very rich on the palate, with a plush, compact texture. A big wine with good extract.
