The medium-to-dark ruby-colored Maranges La Fussiere offers an intense nose of dark fruits and a broad, ripe, medium-bodied, and tangy core of blackberries, cassis, minerals, and metal shaving-like flavors. It possesses excellent depth, but suffers from rustic tannins and a dry finish. Drink it between now and 2002. A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-44-70-62-93), various American importers.
