"Rich, velvety and delicious, with layers and layers of fruit and spice. Has a very deep ruby color, thick but smooth tannins. a plush texture and a long, fruity finish. Tempting to drink now for its opulent flavors, but should be cellared . . . to enter its best phase. [Lafite Rothschild vertical.]"
