(9-1999) The color is light but still quite red despite some traces of evolution. The nose is simple, a little earthy. The agitation shows an imperfectly ripe Cabernet Sauvignon with notes of leaves and tea. The mouth offers a more pleasant character where the approach is melted, lovable, straight structure. However, decantation is very flattering. The wine is getting purer. It does not offer a great material but its melted style gives it the advantage of an early tasting. Slender style with a nice aroma on the finish.
(01-1996) Attractive berry, wet earth aromas and flavors, medium body, medium silky tannins and fresh finish.
