The finest Goulee to date the wine has an opaque purple color a glorious nose of creme de cassis blackberries forest floor and some subtle charcoal and fabulous fruit on the attack mid-palate and finish. The wine is opulent even viscous with unreal concentration and a full-bodied purity and texture. This wine simply over-delivers at every stage of the tasting experience. It is definitely a candidate to buy by the caseful and drink over the next decade or more. This is a major sleeper of the vintage.
