An essence of berries on the nose, like a liqueur, with an almost medicinal suggestion of sheer concentration.

Drink after 2004
Polished, with vivid, alluring flavors of blueberry, blackberry and vanilla. Tannins are firm and well-integrated, and the finish echoes with floral, minty and smoky notes. Best after 2004. 350 cases made.
