Severely oaked with a roasted nose equal to baked plums mixed with crushed espresso beans. Ultrarich in the mouth, with sweet, syrupy flavors that don't come across soft because the tannins are immense. This is not your average wine, and the nose is downright overwhelming. But it has some very impressive dark-berry flavors and it certainly should improve through 2006. Imported by Moët Hennessy USA. Michael Schachner

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
