Tasted blind. Healthy crimson. Sweet and ripe on the nose. Just a bit too intense and concentrated on the palate so that the finish is a tad bitter. (JR)

Somewhat of a paradox to taste, on the palate this wine is close to perfection, but the nose is somewhat reduced, with some fig and prune notes. What doesn’t make sense is that the palate is fresh, full-bodied and super-concentrated, with great blue, red and black fruits, licorice, earth and spice. This is a massive wine, but the nose has me worried.

Blackish crimson. Very thick, sweet and raisined on the nose. Hard work! Tough tannins on the end and very drying and sour. Shades of Mendoza. (JR)
