Archipel 2001
Sonoma County, California, United StatesExcellent deep cherry purple color. Huge peppery, vanilla, sweet cassis nose with blackberry, licorice root and spicy threads. Big and young on the palate with definite tannins; balanced and ripe. Tasty flavours of vanilla, coffee, earth, licorice, blackberry jam, pepper and even orange. Bigger and more structured than the 2000, this will need four to seven years to reach full maturity. Classy and worth the investment.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $74.95 | 750ml |
