Tasting Notes

Vinous Josh Raynolds - 01 Sep 07
Deep ruby. Vibrant, intensely perfumed aromas of mineral-accented red berries and cherry, with deeper espresso, black cardamom and rooty licorice qualities. Bright strawberry and raspberry on the impressively expansive and precise palate. Fine-grained tannins give shape to the strikingly long, juicy finish. This is not at all about size.
