Stephen Tanzer's IWC, October 1998
Dark red. Warm, complex aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, lead pencil, tobacco, loam and smoky oak. Silky, rich raspberry and currant flavors given shape and grip by sound, ripe acidity. Quite laid-back and youthful today, but harmonious from the outset. Roast coffee and loam notes complement the berry fruit. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and excellent persistence. A return to form following the green '93.

This rich, ripe red offers deep fruit, plenty of new oak, a plush texture and great balance, with alluring flavors of blackberry, vanilla and toast, great concentration and a long, fruity finish. Seductive now, but has the potential to improve with age. Drink now through 2010. 4,700 cases made. –TM
