Closed now, but the impressive depth and richness of fruit and texture are still evident. Opens with aromas of black and blueberries, touches of carob and cinnamon. Chewy, yet smooth and polished, cocoa and espresso accent the subdued very dark cherry fruit. Shows dusty tannins and a leathery note on the long finish. Cellar til 2005.——W.E.(4/1/2001)—— 90
