This impeccably made wine boasts a rich, almost unctuous mouthfeel that beautifully complements its flavors of blackberries, dried spices, toast and vanilla. It’s delicious now, but the flavors are so young and primary it’s hard to imagine it not being even better in another year or two. Long on the finish, with echoes of oak and fruit lingering elegantly.——J.C.(8/1/2007)—— 91
