The 2004 Le Desir is rich and plush. Fine and silky tannins make for a luxurious mouthfeel, while stimulating acidity provides a refreshing framework. The wine boasts dried cherry, espresso bean, mocha, thyme, graphite, cigar box and dried violets. The fruit is followed by a host of savory flavors that continue to evolve and progress.

Reviewer: Stephen Tanzer

(14.7% alcohol): Bright medium ruby. Kirsch, mocha and brown spices on the nose. Large-scaled, rich, sweet and powerful; can't quite match the nuance of La Joie but boasts powerful medicinal reserve. Today this is almost more Pauillac in style than La Joie, no doubt due to its sizable and very firm Cabernet Franc component. Finishes classically dry, with explosive black cherry fruit. All three of these Verité wines possess terrific energy, but this one is the most backward of the trio.
