Sweet vanillin with pure cassis, black cherries, lead pencil shavings. Elegant, medium-bodied, saturated purple color, high tannin, structured, backward feel in the mouth. Quintessentially elegant needs another 5-7 years to hit its plateau of maturity.

- Deep ruby-red. Deep, lively aromas of red- and blackcurrants, licorice, tobacco and grilled nuts. Great sweetness and silky texture in the mouth currently overshadows the wine strong supporting acidity and tight core of spice and minerals. The toothcoating tannins don't cover as much of the mouth as those of the '96 do, but this wine offers uncanny length.
