Purchased today at Premier Cru for $24.99, decanted for almost three hours...

The color on this wine is a briliant but dark translucent red. Hugely expressive on the nose, one can easily smell the wine from a distance, the aromas getting increasingly intense you swirl and sniff. The aromas of sweet cherries, wild herbs, and roses are deep, complex, and wonderful. On the palate the wine is tannic, young, and clearly in need of some cellar time, but displays outstanding balance, length, and focus. A wine of terrific purity, I feel this wine will require a few years for the tannins to settle, and should drink well for many years thereafter. 93+ points, and an outstanding value!
