Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 14
Good deep red. Sexy aromas of redcurrant, flowers and underbrush. At once sweet and saline on the palate, with a lovely creaminess for the vintage. Has the mid-palate stuffing to buffer its tannins. I'd give this three or four years of cellaring but it also has the texture and sweetness to provide early enjoyment.
