I first tasted this 100% Merlot wine with the 1999 vintage, and since that time, I have been a strong advocate. With 14% alcohol, there is admirable depth, and a personality of plum, cherry, graphite, spice, bitter chocolate and vanilla. Full-bodied, there is elegance as well as a solid backbone of tannins. Drink over the next 15 years.
