This charming, elegant wine avoids the hard, tough tannin often found in the wines of this vintage. Deep ruby, with a moderately intense, enthralling bouquet of spicy oak and cassis, this medium- to full-bodied, surprisingly precocious-tasting de Pez drinks well, yet should last for at least another 10-12 years. Anticipated maturity: Now-2001. Last tasted, 11/89.
