Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 08
Good deep red. Sweet red fruits and vanilla on the nose, with a jammy suggestion. Supple and sweet on entry, then drier and less forthcoming in the middle, with a cool minty character and lively acidity currently to the fore. Finishes firm, with attractive minty lift.
