Very dark color, belying a fairly light and fruity nose. Dark, chewy fruit masked by a superabundance of oak, and very drying tannins. It took several hours for this to open up, and it may improve with another year or two of bottle age. At present it is still fairly rough and tannic.

Cru Burgeois Bordeaux (Ripple - Washington, DC): Dry but pleasant, still young, cassis with coffee.
