Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 16
Healthy red-ruby. Sexy aromas of blueberry, violet and game. At once dense and juicy; boasts terrific energy to its inky dark berry flavors but firmly tannic and backward today. I find this less sweet than the Lavaux but with more fruit intensity and finesse owing to the sandier soil.
