A ripe wine that is polished almost as bright as a diamond. Big, chocolaty flavors are balanced by some acidity and soft tannins. This is a seductive wine that belies the quality of the vintage, showing concentration and sweet, dense fruit.

Round and lacking form, this shows only tannins. It features some attractive acidity, but it is finally spoiled by a rustic character.
