This wine is a colossal success and a potential legend in the making. Its saturated, dense inky blue-purple color offers up notes of crushed rocks, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries, and creme de cassis. A synthesis of power and elegance, this multi-layered wine has spectacular concentration, sweet but high tannin, and low acidity a stunning effort that showcases this legendary terroir. It is a brilliant, brilliant success. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2030.

Pure cassis on the nose. Impressive. Full-bodied, thick and powerful, with loads of fruit and big, velvety tannins. Goes on for minutes on the palate. Huge wine. Very, very impressive. This is one of the big surprises of the vintage.
