Monday, March 6, 2006 - Black ruby. Dark, brooding aromas of cassis, stone dust, toffee, floral overtones. But rather closed with drying tannins and considerable acidity. Was at its best on day two; the richness of the cassis fruit somehow showed through the intense tannins. With time, this will make an elegant bottle, but needs 5-8 years if not more. Potential 94-96 points if the tannins die before the fruit.
