92 ST. "Bright, dark red. Sexy, musky complexity to the aromas of plum, currant, bacon fat, game and leather; showing its Syrah side on the nose today. Nobly rustic flavors of raspberry, strawberry, truffle and smoked meat offer lovely sweetness and harmonious framing acidity. This nicely delineated midweight is awfully sexy already but has the reserve for mid-term aging, even if it doesn't have quite the grip or detail of the 2012 version. Finishes with a smooth dusting of tannins and excellent subtle length." Vinous.com Nov 2016 |
