Tasting Notes

93-96
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 17
(13.3% natural alcohol, from a healthy crop level of 42 hectoliters per hectare): Bright dark red. Lovely lift to the aromas of blackberry, licorice and violet. At once fine-grained and penetrating, even a bit unyielding today, showing strong medicinal reserve to its black fruit, menthol and licorice flavors. Still, this is harmonious from the outset, even if the Malconsorts shows more volume in the early going. Best today on the rising finish, which features substantial edge-free tannins and noteworthy finesse.
