Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(the crop was down 40% due to the frost; 25% new oak): Healthy dark red. Very ripe black raspberry dominates the nose. Plump, rich and sweet but with surprising acidity to frame the slightly medicinal flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, licorice and herbs. This chewy, concentrated wine's combination of almost liqueur-like ripeness and herbal accents suggests that the fruit ripened quickly at the end.
