- ($160-$199) Full red with an amber rim. Subdued aromas of plum, redcurrant, truffle and milk chocolate, plus a faint medicinal aspect. Solid and chunky, but with slightly sour acids limiting its appeal. I found the same slight tartness on the finish, which showed good but not outstanding length. This wine was the writers' and collectors' favorite of the flight, but for me it was the least impressive wine. (Another bottle tasted with dinner was considerably better, however: Good red-ruby color. Sappy aromas of spicy red berries, leather and tobacco. Chunky and fat, with an almost read more...candied sweetness. But still quite young and tightly wound, showing only moderate give and complexity. 92.) (hide)
