Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 08
Good full red. Wonderfully scented nose offers raspberry, cherry, smoked meat, coffee and minerals. Suave and precise; here the oak complements rather than dominates the flavors of raspberry and minerals. Juicy, classically dry and palate-staining. Finishes scented and long.
