Notes:

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Mar/Apr 02($79) Deep ruby-red. Cool, vibrant, floral aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate, violet and spices. Big, chewy, rich and deep, with cool black fruit and floral flavors similar to the aromas. This has wonderful inner-mouth lift and subtlety. Very long, slow-mounting finish; really opens out on the back. 92 points
