90-91 ST.
"Medium ruby. Deeper, riper, aromatic nose dominated by cherry and licorice. Broad, supple and very ripe, with lovely harmonious acidity giving shape to the creamy yet delicate flavors. A much easier style than the San Martin, but still firmly mineral underneath. Finishes with big, broad, ripe, toothcoating tannins." Vinous, Jul 2003 |
