  D'une constitution qui semble défier le temps, ce vin ne laisse pas voir son âge. La robe est toujours jeune, opaque et le fruit bien présent au nez. Petits fruits noirs et réglisse au palais avec une texture soyeuse. Concentré. Une finale approchant les dix caudalies... Un monument!

  One would never know that this wine is 20-years old. The color is still deep, opaque and the rim still clear ruby. The fruit is still hidden behind a wall of tannin. There are only two things that give me hope that I'm simply drinking this wine too young: 1) the producer is Casltell'in Villa and 2) the importer is Neal Rosenthal. Two very strong attributes. Don't touch this for another decade.
