"Dark ruby. Intensely spicy aromas of vibrant strawberry and raspberry, underscored by cinnamon and allspice; this smells like an elegant Burgundy. Very sweet but sharply focused on the palate, with mineral-laced red berry and cherry flavors and an intriguing licorice quality building through the finish. A fascinating and very suave wine with impressive balance and persistence." Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, Feb 2007 |
