The 2004 Terra Rossa First Growth (a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) possesses a deep ruby/purple hue, good structure, and a personality reminiscent of an Australian version of the famous Pauillac, Lynch Bages. Meaty, cassis, and smoky notes emerge from this opulent, rich, full-bodied, beautifully made red. It should drink well for 10-15 years.
