Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Nov 01
Dark red. Strawberry, smoke, earth, spice cake and chocolate on the nose. Very sweet and dense, with lush but somewhat clenched fruit. Powerfully structured wine, with very strong acids and tannic spine. In an awkward stage today, and still quite youthfully unevolved.
