Notes:

By Stephen Tanzer
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec '02
Deep, bright red. Ripe, roasted aromas of red berry liqueur, smoke and tar. Wonderfully scented and complex in the mouth, with sweet, insinuating flavors of licorice, berries and tar. Shows the vibrancy of the best examples from this vintage. Finishes with powerful tannins and impressive grip. Built for extended aging. 93(+?) points
