Super perfumed on the nose with dried fruits, vanilla, violets, anise, red licorice, ripe red fruits and a little vanilla-scented oak. A touch of dry earthiness in there as well. The palate was very tight, with intense tannins and acidity, but underneath a wash of red and black fruits along with black pekoe tea, creamy oak and plenty of weight leading to a long, tannic and chewy finish. Tight as a drum right now, but all the elements are there for a classic wine. May 15, 2007
