88-90 ST.
"Saturated dark color. Rather cool aromas of spiced cherry and mint, with a suggestion of oak and a perfumed raspberry topnote. Fresh, fruity and intensely flavored; quite firm for the year. Tannins are in balance with the wine's fruit. Showing a strong oak spice component today, but also quite persistent on the finish." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, Jan 1999 |
