The 2002 Libranza is a 4,000-case, deep ruby/purple-colored cuvee offering a gorgeously sweet raspberry, black cherry, cassis, licorice, and smoky oak-scented bouquet. Good sweetness (from high glycerin and lofty alcohol) provides a fleshy fatness to accompany the wine’s purity and ripe tannin. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years.
