Red-ruby color. Wild aromas of cassis, redcurrant, blueberry, graphite, violet, minerals and licorice. Very concentrated flavors of blueberry and oak; much more elegant and refined-less wild-than the 2001 Lanzaga. Finishes with substantial, building, oak-powered tannins that coat the entire palate. Aged in all new French barriques for 18 months. In contrast to the "regular" Lanzaga, this calls for at least a couple years of additional bottle aging. -- Stephen Tanzer
