Dark red. Crushed black cherry, licorice and minerals on the pure, vibrant nose. Juicy, tight and vibrant, with penetrating flavors of black cherry, violet and cocoa powder. Dense but weightless wine, with terrific inner-mouth lift. Finishes broad, long, dry and perfumed, with a light touch and noteworthy finesse of tannins.
A reserved yet ultra elegant, airy and quite cool nose, particularly in the context of this notably ripe vintage, speaks of perfumed and very fresh red currant, stone and a hint of spiced floral notes. The mouth coating, rich and overtly muscular flavors possess outstanding detail and even more minerality than is suggested by the nose, all wrapped in a very serious and hugely long finish that is a bit less austere than usual. A stunner. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com
