Almost too much to drink

This is the quintessential knock-your-socks-off wine. It has everything - the knockout nose of intense berry and cassis flavours with a hint of oak is absolutely stunning. The flavors start off pretty intense and build up exponentially to super-intense with sweet blackberry, cassis, and spicy-peppery notes. No matter what you are eating with this the food becomes overpowered by the wine. You have to be prepared for a wine like this. I have to say I prefer the 96 and the 95 to the 97 as they seem to be more tame and more harmonious. The 97 is an experience more than it is a wine.
