"DATE: 08-16-06 Appearance: Deep ruby/purple.
Nose: Cassis, chocolate, smoky oak, blackberry, raspberry.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight plus. Big flavours are not yet together, this one needs time. Big fruit, big tannins, goodly acid, all need to come together.
Conclusions: Big wine for 2010. Lots of potential, may well work now with a good rare steak." lfw
