Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 07
Medium red. Seductively perfumed nose shows suave, oak-spiced strawberry and cherry. Spicy red fruit flavors are sweetened by vanilla and mocha. Turned firmer with air and picked up deeper cherry and cassis notes. Finishes round, supple and sweet, with a repeating mocha impression.
