Cellar/Tasting Notes
Beautiful, intense red color. Fragrances of currant, red rose and fragrances with pleasant subtlety. Notes of spices such as oregano, cocoa and nuances of toasted bread. Powerful attack in the mouth, this wine also has a light astringency. Notes of black fruit. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 91 "Deep garnet purple color. The nose is a little mute to begin, giving way to restrained aromas of vanilla, violets, dark cherry and black pepper. Though there’s plenty of weight on the palate, an elegant style emerges, finely structured with medium to high acidity and a medium+ level of grainy tannins. Long savory finish ..." Stephen Tanzer (ST): 92 "Bright ruby. Vivid raspberry, blackberry, anise and floral scents are fresh and pure. Juicy dark berry flavors are complemented by succulent herbs and dark chocolate, becoming sweeter with air. Leaves strong floral pastille and berry liqueur notes behind, finishing with excellent cut and precision. Very nicely focused wine." |
