Tasting Notes

89-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 99
Good medium red. Roasted cherry and oak spice aromas. Fat, sweet and fresh, with harmonious acidity giving the fruit good cut. Really nicely balanced from the outset. Quite long on the back end, with fine tannins. Should give pleasure early. This is 13% natural alcohol, reports Rousseau.
