Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 16
(made in one two-year-old barrel and two that were older): Ripe scents of peach and spicy oak. A lovely, tightly coiled Referts: dry, savory and saline, with terrific inner-mouth energy and strength. Outstanding class here and best today on the sappy, palate-cleansing back end. If I make just three barrels of a particular wine, even a single one-year-old barrel would bring too much oakiness, noted Ente.
