Rated 92 by Stephen Tanzer
Bright ruby. Rather wild, claret-like aromas of currant, black
raspberry, leather, dark chocolate, spices and tobacco. Then velvety in
texture but also juicy and firmly structured, with mouthcoating flavors
of dark berries, bitter cherry, minerals, cola and bitter chocolate.
This elegantly styled wine really coats the mouth without coming off as
overly sweet. Finishes with noteworthy spine and length. With extended
aeration, this grew sweeter and creamier, with the black raspberry
fruit taking over. |
