This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine is wonderful. It has candied black cherry aromatics that give way to a deeply ripe, medium-to-full-bodied, harmonious, and concentrated personality. Sweet raspberries, chocolate-covered cherries and vanilla-imbued oak can be found in this intense, velvety, refined, and rich wine. It is masculine, ample, and has a long and supple finish. Anticipated maturity: 1999-2006.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.
