"Deep ruby-red color. Extremely elegant aromas of ripe red fruits, plum, cinnamon, nutmeg, licorice and blond tobacco, with a strong mineral streak. Silky-sweet in the mouth, with beautifully ripe fruit that's still young and wound tight. Finishes with textbook fine-grained tannins and superb subtle persistence. In style, this is not unlike a top-notch Bordeaux or a more elegantly styled Napa cabernet." Vinous, Jul 2005 |
