"Bright, deep red. Knockout nose combines dark raspberry, caraway seed, truffle and smoky underbrush. Dense and lush on entry, then amazingly fresh and energetic, boasting great retention of primary fruit character. In fact, the intense red berry, truffle and floral flavors show a slightly medicinal reserve today. Finishes with suave tannins and palate-staining fruits and flowers. I should note that our first two samples of this wine were corked, but this one was a stunner." Vinous, Mar 2013 |
