Delicious aromas of tar and smoke, raspberry, blackberry, walnut, licorice greet the nose. On the palate, this wine is complex with a strong attack, yet velvety and balanced. The finish is long, with lingering flavors of licorice, tobacco, cocoa. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years. 95 Points Robert Parkers Wine Advocate Region: Hermitage,
