black olive and even some tarry notes feature prominently in this medium to full-bodied wine thats supple

cassis and warm earth scents is followed by relatively fine

Discreet wood spice notes and very ripe blue berry

It's dark and rich

offering a gorgeous array of almond

The visit was capped off by previews of the 2004 Cristal and the as-yet-unreleased Cristal Rose

It has a deep garnet color and singular aromas of Morello cherries

grippy and slightly drying finish

Winemaker Mario Andrion regularly conjures superb wine from this 0
