Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 15
Moderately saturated medum red. Aromas of red cherry, plum and iron, complicated by smoky soil tones. Fat, sweet and large-scaled but kept fresh by saline minerality. Captivating flavors of red fruits, smoke and dried flowers carry through a broad, long, ethereal finish.
