Tasting notes
Very Burgundian-like in its vivid black cherry/smoky nose, this medium-bodied, somewhat light, but racy, tasty wine is graceful in a low-keyed manner. It will not make old bones, but it is well-knit and charming. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years.

Meaty and earthy, with berry and tobacco aromas. Medium-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium finish. Best after 2004. 20,000 cases made.-James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
