This is everything a modern-day super red is supposed to be. It’s bold, smoky and masculine beyond reproach. The body is sturdy as a brick, yet it’s cuddly and smooth. Flavorwise, you won’t believe the cascade of cassis, black cherry, vanilla and licorice that flows from the palate. And the finish lasts an eternity. Hold until 2006-07, and then let it rip.——M.S.(3/1/2005)—— 95
