91+ ST. "Vivid red. A pungent, expansive bouquet of red berry and cherry liqueur, smoky minerals and Indian spices. Deep, chewy red fruit flavors are given structure by cherry skin and black cardamom qualities. Unfolds with air and picks up a suave, spicy character that carries through the mineral-driven finish. This deserves patience, or at least some decanter time." Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com, May 2009 |
