This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine exhibits a rich, pure, and spicy nose of dark cherries and raspberries. This is a medium-to-full-bodied, well-proportioned, velvety-textured, and powerful wine. It is focused yet opulent, juicy yet dense, and offers delicious layers of black raspberries, cassis, and minerals in its flavor profile as well as in its admirably long finish. It should be at its peak of maturity between 2002 and 2008.Note: This is a special wine that is neither fined nor filtered and is bottled by hand for Patrick Lesec, this estate's broker. My understanding is that it is available throughout the world but that other, non-Lesec cuvees, are also available.A Patrick Lesec Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-84-38-22), various American importers.
