Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 07
(a blend of 50% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot and 20% cabernet franc) Full red-ruby. Aromas of dark berries, licorice and bitter chocolate, with hints of herbs and mint. Sweet on entry, then primary in the middle, even a bit inky and unformed. But this boasts a surprisingly pliant texture and finishes with rather soft, dusty tannins. Will elevage bring more grip?
