93 ST. "Bright medium ruby. Captivating, expressive aromas of cassis, bitter chocolate, graphite, black cardamom, chicory, baking spices and minerals. Sweet, lush, layered and deep, with complex, pliant flavors of red berries, iron, tobacco and earth, all lifted by baking spices. Wonderfully generous shiraz , finishing with sweet tannins and superb spicy length. Transcends the vintage." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 04 |
