Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 11
Good bright red. Sappy red cherry, raspberry, minerals and crushed stone on the nose; more pristine than the Cherbaudes. Then suave and juicy in the mouth, with terrific cut and purity to the tangy red berry and mineral flavors. Penetrating and powerful yet at the same time elegant. Fresh, taut, palate-staining fruit needs time to unwind. Still a baby.
