"Thick and viscous, with ripe, concentrated black cherry and bittersweet chocolate notes and velvety tannins. A lovely kirsch note distinguishes this mouthful of wine, as does the plush texture, and lingering mocha-scented finish. Best from 2007 through 2012."

"
This is a very fine Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. It's immense in extracted black currant and chocolate flavors that are framed in soft, luxurious tannins. Acidity is soft, too, but adequate. The overall impression is of high quality. Despite the mountain origin, it doesn't seem like an ager, though, so drink now through 2009."
