One of the more seductive Cabs of the vintage, a soft, lithe, fleshy wine oozing opulent flavors. Blackcurrants and cassis, with hints of minty chocolate, are absolutely delicious, while the tannins are as finely grained as they come. It’s the kind of wine you want to drink in the finest crystal you have. ——S.H.(8/1/2004)—— 93
