Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 02
Bright deep red. Pretty, perfumed nose combines exotic red fruits, smoked meat, iron and oak. Juicy and fine, with flavors of redcurrant, dried flowers and spices; reminded me of a particularly fragrant sangiovese. Light on its feet due to bright acids, but I don't find this quite as rich or primary as it appeared from barrel a year ago. Finishes with fine tannins and excellent length.
