This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine reveals an intriguing nose of Asian spices and sweet red fruits. It is medium-to-full-bodied, supple, round, seductive, and filled with blackberries, dark raspberries, and cherries as well as beautifully ripe tannins. It should be at its best between 2000 and 2005.
