93 ST. "Good ruby-red. Knockout nose combines black raspberry, strawberry, licorice, black pepper, chocolate and cinnamon, along with an intriguing minerality. Dense and thick but fresh, with a sappy, saline quality giving grip to the sweet, fleshy fla vors of raspberry, chocolate, eucalyptus, charred oak and exotic spices. Finishes peppery and very long, with sweet, fine tannins." Vinous, Jul 2004 |
