An impressive, sweet, seductive, black/ruby/purple-colored wine with aromas of blueberries and kirsch, with a touch of licorice and pepper, this full-bodied, evolved, voluptuously-textured wine should be drinkable when released next year. It will age well for 10-12 years, without going into a hard stage.
This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996.
