TESTING
It has a gorgeously bright dark ruby/purple color and extremely complex aromatics
of fresh herbs, Asian spices, creamy cherries, super - ripe blackberries,
and vanilla - imbued oak. This superb wine offers a mouthful of silky - textured
cherries, blueberries, plums, boysenberries, earth, minerals, and spiced oak. This
masterpiece is full - bodied, dense (yet extremely elegant and defined), thickly -
textured, and immensely concentrated. Moreover, I sensed this wine was holding
a significant amount in reserve! /RP /Aug 1998
