A blockbuster wine: big, bold and opulent on every front, you’ll be seduced and subdued by its concentrated and immediate aromas of black berry fruit, pencil lead, licorice, chocolate fudge and the pretty ashen nuances. It’s a masculine and multi-layered wine with expertly extracted flavors. This is a hearty wine that will cellar for many more years.——M.L.(8/1/2007)—— 93
