A wine with harmony. Extremely aromatic, with violet, berry and spice character. Medium to full bodied, with fine, silky tannins and a long berry vanilla aftertaste. A bit more fruit in the center palate would make it outstanding. Best after 2004. 2915 cases made.
This elegant, exotic, lush, medium-bodied, Burgundian-styled St.-Emilion boasts great complexity along with an enticing perfume of blueberries, blackberries, and flowers. Although it does not possess a great deal of weight, it offers pure fruit, sweet tannin, and no hard edges. This is a textbook example of Bordeaux at its richest and most elegant. It will be delicious in a few years, and evolve gracefully for 14-15 years.
The proprietors think this effort may be even better than the 1998, however, both are among the superstars of their respective vintages.
