"This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine has rich aromas of deeply ripe dark fruits that give way to a broad, full-bodied, silky-textured, and concentrated wine. It is richer and more intense than any wine I have tasted from this estate, and reveals earthy, stone-laced, black cherry, and blackberry flavors. This wine is harmonious, seductive (yet structured), focused, and well-balanced. Its extremely long and soft finish is replete with magnificently soft tannins." Wine Advocate #118, Aug 1998 |
