Typically dark in color, and what an aroma! You could smell this all day and be happy. Freshly ground coffeebeans, dark unsweetened chocolate, blackberries, pepper, and a wheat-like, barley note: Does that entice you? The flavors are even better. This wine is lush, fruity, ripe, elegant, balanced, soft, rich and long in the finish and sheer pleasure to sip. —S.H.——S.H.(5/1/2002)—— 92
