Dense purple with a nose of spring flowers and sweet kirsch liquor. Full bodied, masculine in style, dark red fruit, creme de cassis as licorice dominate the palate. Velvety tannins and a smooth finish; this wine has quite a few more years before it hits it's peak.

Very enjoyable Bordeaux from Saint Emillion. Reflecting a little age but good dark berry fruit up front and good depth too. I think this wine needs to be enjoyed over next five years.

2005 is luscious with great tannins and dense black cherry.
