"Red-ruby. Aromas of blueberry, licorice and menthol are unusually black for the vintage. Juicy, pure and penetrating; less roasted than the Damodes. Unevolved flavors of blackberry and licorice . . . . vivacious and intense. Tongue-coating tannins avoid dryness. This youthfully aggressive wine needs . . . years of patience." Vinous, Mar 2001 |
