This wine was recommended, but no tasting note was given.

Huge and intense in every respect. Dark and extracted, high in toasty oak, dense in tannins, tingly in acidity, and most of all, enormous in fruit. Waves of plum and blackberry cascade across the palate, ending in a burst of spice and mocha.Drink now through 2010. ——S.H.(8/1/2004)—— 92
