Score 88/100 · Drink 2002-2006, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2002
This medium to dark ruby-colored fruit bomb has a boisterous, almost Beaujolais-like nose of plums, blackberries, and dark cherries. This sweet, lush, fat, and velvety-textured, medium to full-bodied wine has copious layers of plummy fruit. It is neither complex nor long in the finish, but this lascivious offering satisfies the hedonistic needs. Drink it over the next 4 years.
