RP: At present, this structured, backward 2005 is dominated by the vintage�s substantial tannins. It exhibits a saturated ruby purple color, a reticent but promising bouquet of sweet black fruits intermixed with weedy tobacco, licorice, and leather characteristics. Medium-bodied and powerful, with excruciating tannin, but promising potential, patience is most definitely required. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.

Since 1990, this estate's wines have benefited from improved viniculture techniques, such as destemming, and the addition of a higher proportion of Merlot to soften and round out the wine. You will find a little leather & tar on the nose, cassis and red currants on the palate and a touch of mint lingering on the finish.
