Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 13
Medium red. Subtle, vinous aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, underbrush and leather. Sweet and silky on entry, then tight in the middle, with terrific purity and verve to the flavors of red fruits, spices and flowers. Finishes sappy and lightly saline, with a fine dusting of tannins and excellent subtle length. Really terrific retention of fruit here.
