Labeled a moderate 13,5% alcohol. Feels mouthfilling, yet delicate and feminine. Aromas evolve from muted cassis, to eucalptus, bread flour and animal. Tannins are smooth and dry, and the wine's blueberry, black cherry and blackberry flavors are fruit-sweet, yet taut. A chocolate-biscuit richness and pretty plum flavors bring it to a pleasing close.——D.T.(12/31/2004)—— 91
