94+ ST. "Good deep red. Brooding, medicinal nose hints at spices and earth. Then hugely rich and lush if backward in the mouth, with terrific purity to its flavors of pomegranate, dark raspberry and molasses. This seamless, voluminous wine really fills the olfactories. A real essence of red fruits, but dominated today by its firm-edged acidity and finishing energy. This will need time in bottle to express itself fully." Vinous, Mar 2011 |
