Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 11
Bright, dark red. Ripe, deep aromas of crushed blackberry, blueberry, licorice and menthol. Silky on entry, then juicy and energetic in the mid-palate, displaying outstanding vivacity to its explosive dark fruit and floral flavors. The sweet oak component on the finish adds to the wine's appeal without dominating its fruit. Offers a superb combination of elegance and thrust. This wonderfully tangy, very long wine leaves the taste buds vibrating.
