This wine merits attention largely because of the very complex aromatics that consist of menthol, tomato skin, cedar, smoke, sweet cherries, and plums. In the mouth, the attack is impressive, medium-bodied, elegant, soft, pure, and the finish is all velvet, but there is not much intensity or follow-through. The wine is also fully mature, as evidenced by the creeping considerable amber at the color’s rim. Anticipated maturity: Drink up. Last tasted, 3/02.
