Expert Reviews
Bright ruby-red. Reticent but deep aromas of raspberry and truffle. Sweet, ripe and superrich, with an uncommonly lush and pliant mid-palate texture for the year. A wonderfully silky 2005 with terrific fruit, fine-grained tannins and superb length. Lacks only the complexity of Fantino's best vintages of this consistently outstanding wine.
