Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 13
Bright medium red. Musky, sauvage aromas of red cherry, cherry skin, game and leather. Rich and full, offering considerable fat to its ripe flavors of redcurrant, musky herbs, smoke and game. Finishes with round, dusty tannins, a hint of menthol and very good length but today I'm not finding the definition or grip--or minerality--that a barrel sample displayed a year ago.
