Score 92/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2007
Bright purple. Sexy dark berry and candied cherry aromas are deepened by suave oak spice, patchouli and gingerbread. Sweet cassis and mulberry flavors are deepened by a lightly roasted, meaty quality. This gained sweetness with air, taking on floral pastille and vanilla qualities that carried into the long, clingy finish. Very suave for this ripe vintage.
