Tasting Notes

92
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Oct 16
(14.6% alcohol; 5.81 g/l acidity; 3.63 pH): Healthy medium ruby. Pungent scents of blackberry, cassis, violet and licorice. Very concentrated, plush and broad but at the same time classically dry and quite young, conveying a strong impression of medicinal reserve. The rising black fruit and spice finish displays excellent length, but the wine's firm spine of acidity and slightly dusty tannins call for patience. I find this more backward than the 2004.
