Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 01
Full deep red. Very precise aromas of black plum, blueberry, licorice and herbs. Quite powerful on the attack, with penetrating but cool black fruit flavors, then unforthcoming in the middle. The spicy, dark berry flavors return with a vengeance on the finish. Strong tannins will require up to a decade of bottle aging.
