90-92 ST.
"Moderately saturated medium red. Lovely lift to the aromas of black raspberry, violet, bitter chocolate and mint. Juicy, spicy and rather suave, with a penetrating quality and a light touch to the dark fruit and spice flavors. Nicely integrated peppery acidity carries through to the exhilarating finish, which features smooth tannins and excellent length." Vinous, Jan 2012 |
