Haan’s flagship offering, the 2003 Wilhelmus, is a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, and the rest Malbec and Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in oak. Its dark ruby/purple color is followed by fragrant aromas of lead pencil, black currants, licorice, and spice box. With serious richness, a medium to full-bodied, layered mid-palate, a persistent finish, and moderate tannin, it is a European-styled, yet authoritatively flavored proprietary red that is already remarkably complex. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Importer: Benjamin Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 923-1376
