Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Mar 13
Inky ruby. Dark berry preserves, cola, Asian spices and mocha on the exotically perfumed nose. Offers an array of sappy black and blue fruit flavors and gains energy and weight with air. The spicy quality comes back strong on the finish, which features suave, harmonious tannins and shows superb focus and tenacity. This wine's blend of concentration and liveliness is a marvel.
