Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 98
Darkest ruby color. Spicy black raspberry, violet, licorice and toast aromas lifted by a chalky minerality. Fleshy entry, then very tight and backward, with powerful acids. A distinctly tougher style of wine, wrapped up in its own structure today. This will need several years of bottle aging to express itself. There will also be later-bottled special cuvees of 100% tempranillo and 100% cabernet from the '96 vintage, to be released next spring; barrel samples of these extremely impressive wines merited scores in the 93-95 range.
