The 2002 d’Ioro Seleccion Kysela, which spent 12-14 months in French oak, is a strong effort for this troublesome vintage. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a rich, sumptuous nose of cigar tobacco interwoven with black currants, cherries, earth, and spice box. Medium to full-bodied, with wonderful sweetness, supple tannin, and decent acidity, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years given the vintage’s fragile fruit.Importer: Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA; tel (540) 722-9228
