93 AM. "A reserved yet high-toned nose that is intensely spicy and includes notes of anise, clove, cinnamon and hoisin-infused black berry fruit aromas and this spiciness continues onto the rich, ripe and strikingly intense broad-shouldered flavors that are sweet and suave yet manage to retain a fine sense of detail on the seductive and notably long finish. This isn't quite as concentrated as the Vignerondes but it's equally powerful." Allen Meadows, April 01, 2009 |
