Notes | |||
"Ruby red in color, the wine shows a youthful hint at the rim. The nose reveals interesting and complex aromas of ripe fruits in perfect balance with spices, toffee, roasted coffee and balsamic notes. The palate is soft with silky tannins, good, fresh acidity and a long finish with a balsamic aftertaste." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Very classic character to this with toasted oak, hints of consomme, meat and dried lemon. Medium body with crisp, firm tannins." —James Suckling "A balanced, medium-bodied red, with hints of cedar and cigar box accenting plum and soft cherry fruit. Gains supple definition from fine-grained tannins, and delivers depth and focus without excessive weight or power." —Wine Spectator |
