90 ST. "Good bright ruby-red. Spiced plum and chocolate mint aromas, with a strong overlay of sweet oak. Then juicy and spicy in the mouth, with good cut to the flavors of raspberry and tobacco leaf; perked up by a refreshing hint of rhubarb. Silky, lively merlot with no heaviness. Finishes fresh and firm." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, May/Jun 06 |
