Groseilles is French for red currant, and there is a definite red-fruit character here, with a hint of smokiness and sweet tannins over layers of wood. The wine is still young and relatively soft, but offers aging over the next three to four years. ——R.V.(12/31/2010)—— 91

A round, generous wine which has soft tannins built around a core of toast and ripe, red fruit flavors. In the end, it is the fruit which dominates, juicy, super-ripe and opulent. This wine will age over 5 years, but it gives great pleasure now.——R.V.(9/1/2005)—— 90

Orange zest aromas and raspberry fruits set the scene for this appealing wine. Light tannins and juicy fruit make it already drinkable, but it could age for 10 years. ——R.V.(11/1/2002)—— 89
