A bit tight on the come out, it takes a little coaxing before you find all the smoky, fruits and espresso bean. Full bodied and concentrated, the wine is silky, lush, sweet and fresh, with just a bare hint of that famous Rutherford dust on the tannins. It's quite possible, that more of this wine is being held in reserve at the moment, so in a few years, it could prove to be even better with age.
