Tasting Notes
A sleeper of the vintage, this well-known, non-classified growth is a deep ruby/purple-colored effort revealing notions of roasted meats, black truffles, licorice, and loamy earth. Sweet tannin, a rich, chocolaty, black currant fruitiness, medium to full body, and terrific freshness and vibrancy provide a gorgeous early appeal. It will be even better in 3-4 years, and should last for 15 or more.

Mushroom, spice, berry and meat aromas follow through to a full body, with slightly earthy undertone and soft tannins. But this is rich and interesting. Best after 2011.
