"Two-thirds of the vines are between 70 and 80 years of age and the remaining vines are approximately 20+ years old . . . . a liqueur-like nose of black cherry, earth and underbrush hints that introduce rich, serious and concentrated flavors that possess an abundance of mid-palate extract as it almost completely buffers the otherwise very firm tannic spine, all wrapped in a palate staining finish. This stunning effort should reward at least a dozen years in the cellar and drink well for another decade thereafter." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, May 2011 |
