“There is a good deal of juicy, fully ripened, black cherry fruit at the fore of this one, and the wine is unsparing in sweet oak, yet for all of its obvious richness, it has plenty of depth and a real sense of reserve that affords it fine potential for development. It is, in fact, fairly tough and sufficiently tannic to dissuade early drinking, and, if deserving no less than a another five years of patience in which to grow beyond its showy youth, it will gain for twice as long.”
