Rich, round and flavourful with some very defined dry, tight tannins. Smoky, tobacco, cherry, mint, orange peel, leather and pepper flavours. Elegant olive, earthy finish. A tight but elegant style that will need a minimum of 2-5 years to fully round out.Tasted: 17 February 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:CA | $155.00 | 750ml | Winery Only |
