Perfect color; built like a house. The bouquet is telling, as one whiff delivers cherry, cola, tobacco and almond paste. Much to ponder on the palate, as red berry and cassis flavors are puffed up by woody waves of coconut and cream. And then there are those tight, driving tannins. You can’t miss them. Hold for several years, if you can. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports. ——M.S.(8/1/2005)—— 91
